it's node itself that does not support arm macs. You need to use rosetta.

@jdx - Thanks for the quick reply!

@jdx - I have opened iTerm2 with Rosetta enabled, but it is still showing warnings when trying to install that version of node. I have verified that Rosetta is installed and that the arch is i386

Try arch -x86_64 mise install node@14.17.3

[arcaderob]

Try arch -x86_64 mise install node@14.17.3

Still not working. I'm receiving:

% arch
i386
% arch -x86_64 mise install node@14.17.3
arch: posix_spawnp: mise: Bad CPU type in executable

One thing you can do is download the archive from the website and extract it to ~/.local/share/mise/installs/node/14.17.3. Then clear the cache via mise cache clear and the version should show up in mise ls and work as expected (via Rosetta).

the docs explain how to use rosetta: https://mise.jdx.dev/tips-and-tricks.html#macos-rosetta
