I'm trying to understand how to proceed with a repo I've started working on that uses PhantomJS, a node package that was last published five years ago and doesn't seem to support M1 Macs.

Other than running an AMD64 Docker container on my Mac, is there any option beyond changing the codebase? Changing the codebase would pose problems for colleagues not on M1 machines.

The error messages:

Now using node v14.17.6 (npm v6.14.15)
Build theme
npm WARN deprecated phantomjs-prebuilt@2.1.16: this package is now deprecated

> phantomjs-prebuilt@2.1.16 install /var/www/html/www/themes/custom/rutherford/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt
> node install.js

PhantomJS not found on PATH
Unexpected platform or architecture: linux/arm64
It seems there is no binary available for your platform/architecture
Try to install PhantomJS globally

Thank you.

You'll need to switch to a supported package that supports arm64. Or you'll need to go back to your amd64 mac.

There are probably ways to use --platform linux/amd64 with your web container, but my expectation is you'll be very unhappy and get really bad results.

There are a number of deprecated/abandoned npm packages that don't have arm64 support. The most common one people stumble on is node-sass
