v18.4.0 (npm v8.12.1).

I encountered this while trying to install ipns-publisher (which has go-ipfs as a dependency) on my M1 Mac. But the issue happens even just trying to do npm install go-ipfs:

$ npm install go-ipfs
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Version no longer supported. Upgrade to 0.12.2 or later.
npm ERR! code 1

So the problem seems to be coming from here: https://github.com/ipfs/npm-go-ipfs/blob/8b0e3d947f0af11a8704760f1f78d7b8a02324aa/src/download.js#L126

However, this works fine:

$ node
> process.arch
'arm64'

And running this successfully works around the problem:

TARGET_ARCH='arm64' npm install

It looks like this is a problem with go-platform. If I install and run it on its own (as per the instructions in its README) I get:

$ node_modules/.bin/go-platform
darwin-undefined

I've opened an issue on that repo, but logging this ticket here so that:

  1. Other people experiencing this problem can see the workaround.
  2. If the issue doesn't get fixed in go-platform (which was last updated 7 years ago) we can look at an alternative for this repo.
