Installing the lisk-sdk on M1 Macs

For any future readers that are having issues with installing lisk-sdk on their m1 Mac (compiling rocksdb in particular), this is what solved the issue for me:

  • Uninstall all versions of node installed with nvm. Thoroughly.
  • Uninstall other node installations
  • Double check if all is gone with which node
  • Download the installer package from the official nodejs website (direct link to latest v12 LTS: https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v12.x/node-v12.21.0.pkg).
    Install pkg

Strangely enough this is different from installing the same version using nvm.

EDIT #1:
It appears that n is working properly. You can use this as an alternative to nvm to easily switch node versions.

Thanks a lot for this tipp! I was about to go crazy …

It even did not work with node version 12.22.0. :blush:
