What did you expect to happen?

should be able to install node@14.21.1

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the `PATH`?

To be clear, it’s trying to download darwin arm64, and those don’t exist before node 16 - so if you’re on an M1/M2 mac, you need to be in a Rosetta shell to install node < 16.

@ljharb answer fixed the problem for me.

And here is how to open the Terminal using Rosetta:

Open the Applications folder in Finder.
Click the Search icon and type Terminal.
Right-click the Terminal icon that will appear and select the Get Info option.
From the Get Info window, check the checkbox next to Open using Rosetta.
Close all open windows of the terminal and quit it and then reopen the terminal again.
Now you can try to install Node version < 16 using NVM and it should succeed.

Doesn’t work in 2024 even with rosetta with node 14.21.3 …/deps/v8/src/base/bit-field.h:43:29: error: integer value 31 is outside the valid range of values

Try changing the machine’s architecture type from the default arm64 to x86_64

To check the current architecture enter the command below.

arch

If it returns arm64, ether the following command:

arch -x86_64 zsh

Then, try nvm i 14 again. Worked for me on M3 Pro.
