Install Node and NVM on M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max Macs

Here I show how to get set up with Node on Apple Silicon machines; M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max as of right now. I recommend using NVM (Node Version Manager) to be able to switch between versions of Node and that's what I show here.

Don''t forget to reopen your terminal so it registers the changes folks!

If you try to install old node versions that only have intel builds with nvm you may see it trying to build an ARM version and failing. To install the pre-built intel versions you need to open the shell in rosetta mode and then run nvm install again: "arch -arch x86_64 zsh". Once installed you can use nvm use to switch to that version freely, rosetta will detect that node version automatically as an intel version and run it in emulation.

I did need to add the custom config, I just restarted terminal and it worked.

It says not to install nvm with homebrew in the nvm documentation. "Homebrew installation is not supported. If you have issues with homebrew-installed nvm, please brew uninstall it, and install it using the instructions below, before filing an issue."

I'd be interested in two benchmarks:

1. A CPU benchmark between M1 and M1 Max limited to four cores.

2. A build time comparison of Node projects of various complexity between M1 and M1 Pro/Max.

Really looking forward to Node benchmarks for MBA and latest MBPs.
