@askprateek have you run the installation in the Docker container?

[askprateek]

Yes, @Brooooooklyn. I'm running the installation in the docker container with host node_modules mounted in the container. NPM installed happened in the host machine.

docker buildx ls gives me this

desktop-linux   docker
  desktop-linux desktop-linux   running linux/arm64, linux/amd64, linux/riscv64, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x, linux/386, linux/arm/v7, linux/arm/v6

@askprateek are you using npm? there is a bug in npm related: npm/cli#4828.

[askprateek]

We were able to solve this.
We forcefully installed the required package to make it work.

Our understanding is

• You run npm install on M1 mac. It installs darwin binaries.
• You run docker build: it creates an image on architecture: linux/x64. We got this info using the docker inspect command.
• This is resulting in a mismatch.

To solve this we ran npm i @napi-rs/snappy-linux-arm64-gnu --save-dev -f to forcefully install the package on my Mac M1 machine to temp fix the dependency issue.
