Apple Silicon Installation

[Offroaders123]

Describe the bug

While trying to install webcrack, it seems like there's an issue in regards to building the isolated-vm dependency on arm64 macOS, because it doesn't provide a pre-built binary for it.

I tried to work around this issue by installing isolated-vm with the x86_64 build, but that didn't seem to work out.

Stack Overflow - Installing node.js packages for different architecture

Then I looked into if I could clone the project and fix the issue myself, but then installing the dependencies for that has the same issue as well, so it's like the chicken or the egg problem. Well, maybe the Two Generals problem.

Expected Behaviour

The installation would be able to install on arm64 macOS.

Code

npm install --save-dev webcrack

[j4k0xb]

by installing isolated-vm with the x86_64 build

Can't use another architecture, it should automatically build the darwin/arm64 version on your system

Try using node 20: laverdet/isolated-vm#468

[Offroaders123]

Oh I forgot to mention that I was going to try using Rosetta 2 to run the x86_64 build. Thank you for the fix recommendation as well! I'll go try that next.

[j4k0xb]

Did you get it to work?

[Offroaders123]

Yep, looks like it did work out! So downgrading to Node 20 was the fix.

Reference

brew install node@20
brew unlink node && brew link --force --overwrite node@20
