Been having trouble with this on m1/node 18.16.1, stalling on sharp, then better-sqlite3, not completely sure what made it work in the end as xcode was also in the middle of re-veryifing, so that may have been a factor, the install worked after xcode finished and had just installed watchman.

• npm install --global node-gyp
• brew install vips
• brew install watchman
• npx @vendure/create my-shop --log-level verbose : worked
