I'm using MacOS M2, after installing solc via node and I got this error

solc --version

Looks like you have solc-select installed globally and it runs when you invoke solc. This message is not coming from solc installed via npm.

In fact solc-js does not provide a solc binary at all. It contains an emscripten binary that has no CLI interface. To use it on the command line you try npx solcjs --version, but overall for command-line use I recommend using a native binary.
