NPM Error: Object.assign(new Error(`not found: ${cmd}`), { code: 'ENOENT' })-CodePudding

Having an NPM error I cannot get around. Note: This project is working fine on an intel Mac but not an M2 Mac. Both NPM and Node are working with a different project. NPM Version 8.11.0 and node version 16.16.0.

This is what I get on a npm install. However trying to use npm at all within this project gives me a similar error. I've uninstalled NPM and node and reinstalled without luck.

Any ideas?

CodePudding user response：

This was indeed a Mac M2 issue / CPU related issue.

This post saved the day: zsh: bad CPU type in executable: node

Steps to correcting:

#1: Delete package-lock.json file
#2: softwareupdate --install-rosetta
