Failed to run pagefind via the npx wrapper: Error: Failed to install either of [pagefind_extended, pagefind]. Most likely the platform linux-x64 is not yet a supported architecture.

Temporary fix:

Because Starlight already runs npx pagefind -y --site dist, I would like to avoid this solution.

I'll see if I can reproduce this, but any failure here can (unfortunately) likely be traced to npm's installation flow rather than Pagefind's code. Due to the way Pagefind has to package, the binary is technically an "optional" dependency, so failures installing that package can be suppressed.

One other avenue to try might be to install the packages ahead of the build, meaning npx should use those instead of downloading them:

npm i pagefind @pagefind/linux-x64

(The likely issue being @pagefind/linux-x64 failed to install for some unknown reason)

For information, I now get the same error in Netlify.

It looks like I upgrade Node from 20 to 22 in my .nvmrc, I don't know if it is really related and might help fix the issue.

Reverting to Node 20 didn't fix the issue.

Forcing installation of Pagefind did fix the issue: https://github.com/nhoizey/nicolas-hoizey.photo/commit/b8e387ee59b7b127243410a1925cb77a95bd2250

Interesting! Thanks for the notes. Something to keen an eye on 👀
