Fresh install of @pact-foundation/pact results in pact not running

Expected behaviour

the library wont load, this is the entire test file from referenced above, i gutted it just to see if the module will load and it wont, tried es5 and es6

import pact from '@pact-foundation/pact'

describe('The Dog API', () => {
  describe('get /dogs using builder pattern', () => {
    it('succeeds', () => {
      // Add expected interactions
    })
  })
})

Actual behaviour

the library wont load

TIL that Ventura is the latest Mac OSX distribution!

Is it an M1 or intel setup?

So it's hard to tell from here why it's failing, but one of the following is plausible

1. It's to do with Ventura (one hypothesis is that it is looking for the wrong ffi lib because our OS/Arch detection isn't clever enough)
2. It's to do with yarn (I believe yarn workspaces/v2 can be an issue)
3. ...something else

Are you able to reproduce this issue on a brand new, vanilla JS project with node? We can then step by step through the issues from there.

Can you do npm ls @pact-foundation/pact-core and share the output?

Also, if you remove node_modules, then do npm install, do you see any errors?
