How did you install nvm?

I installed it using the curl script

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash

What steps did you perform?

First I used nvm install node, then nvm use node. After this I checked my node version using node -v and it said v17.1.0. So far so good.

What happened?

Then I tried to use nvm install 14.16.1 but got the error: curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

This is how it looked, and after the last line it went bananas and pretty much into what looked like an endless loop of lots of text about configuration stuff (or smth).

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the 14.16.1 version to be installed. I installed nvm on my old macbook air laptop earlier today and it seemed to work flawlessly so I don't understand what mistake I did now running the installation again. Could it be the M1 chip that is the issue?

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

Not sure, but I don't think so.

If you are having installation issues, or getting "N/A", what does curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/ print out?

node doesn't support M1 Macs earlier than v16, except via Rosetta.

See the relevant readme section.

Thank you, I just realized this.

Switch the processor architecture to emulate the old Intel chips

arch -x86_64 zsh

Install whatever version of the node binaries you need

nvm install 12.18.3

arch -x86_64 zsh

Install whatever version of the node binaries you need

nvm install 12.18.3

What is the command to revert the architecture change? Is it necessary to do this? Thanks!
