If stars are in your favor, you’ll see your app run. Next, close your eyes, cross you fingers and run npm start (or whatever command) to run your app. Otherwise, run npm i to install v11 of Electron because that is the first Electron version that supports M1. Go to the package.json file of your project and check which version of Electron is it using. Which occurs because there’s no binary of darwin-arm64 architecture in electron’s releases earlier than v11. If you had a version less than v11, you’ll see an error similar to:Įrrors: Failed to find Electron v10.2.0 for darwin-arm64 at … Once you have NodeJS installed correctly, cd into your project and run npm i. Once the build is done, run node -v in terminal to verify you have NodeJS installed and to check its version. But that’s normal, don’t worry because it was the only time MacBook got hot for me, otherwise it feels cool to the touch. If you have MacBook Pro, the fans in it will start spinning. While its building, if you have MacBook Air, you’ll notice it’ll get hot and slowdown a little. This step requires the Xcode and its components to be already installed because it builds NodeJS from source. Once complete, run nvm install 15 in the Terminal to install the v15 of NodeJS. You can follow the instruction on NVM’s repo to install the latest version for your Mac. Which means we’ll have to build NodeJS from the source on the machine first before using it to build the app.įortunately, the awesome tool called NVM allows you to build the source if it cannot find a suitable version for the local machine. But as of today (), NodeJS website only offers 圆4 builds for Darwin (mac) for the latest v14. To build Electron app, which uses NodeJS, we need an ARM build of NodeJS itself. To make sure that Xcode developer tools have correct paths in our environment, run the command: sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer Next, Install some components we need for our development workflow with the command in Terminal: xcode-select - installġ.3. You need to accept Terms and Condition it shows on the first start. Once you have the Xcode, Start it if you’ve never started it yet. If not, you should start downloading Xcode right away from the App Store.ġ.2. If you already have it installed (congrats!), you can go to next step. Xcodeįirst thing we need is Xcode to be installed on our machine. GitHub Actions) to support the ARM builds, so I just purchased M1 MacBook to build locally. I couldn’t wait for cloud platforms (e.g. You need an ARM machine to build for ARM. This guide could help you save some of the time I lost. I had to dig around to find the right tools. Intel’s architecture is different from Apple’s, and apps built for Intel would need to be rebuilt to run on Apple technology.īuilding for ARM on new MacBooks is not as straightforward yet. Apple has released its own chip called the M1 using the ARM architecture.
