Hey @vishwasnavadak,

Nice to hear that it worked!

I don’t think we need to add it in the contributors’ guide because of the userbase being so small. Also, Node might update and the instructions could go out of date fast.

You can always open a PR and we will review it.

Have a nice day and looking forward to your contributions!

Perfect and also I think it would be better to add a small note in the “Troubleshooting” part of the contribution docs.

Good that you recalled. Updating to node v14.17 worked!!

PS: arch command output

$ arch
arm64

Do you think we need to update https://contribute.freecodecamp.org/#/how-to-setup-freecodecamp-locally page for M1 users?
