Cannot install on mac m1

[xndlnk]

Bug

Expected Behavior

WHEN

I install the Desktop Visualization via npm i codecharta-visualization locally

THEN

the application should install

Actual Behavior

I get the error message:

npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! path /Users/xxx/Projects/toys/codecharta/node_modules/codecharta-visualization/node_modules/nw
npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! command sh -c -- node scripts/install.js
npm ERR! Response code 404 (Not Found)

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. npm i codecharta-visualization

Specifications

• CodeCharta Version: 1.114.0
• OS: MacOS 13.2.1 running on an Apple M1 Pro
• Browser: Chrome Version 111.0.5563.64

Workaround

• I cloned your repository
• then changed dir to ./visualization
• when I try to npm i the same error from above occurs
• then run npm_config_nwjs_process_arch=x64 npm install nw as described here Install nw fails on mac Apple Silicon nwjs/npm-installer#83
• then run npm i and installation succeeds

Maybe this helps to find a solution.

Thanks for the bug report! We are aware of this issue with NW. There is already an open PR, that they need to merge to fix this issue.
I don't think that there is an elegant way for us to include this workaround, because it is an installation error.
I will move the workaround instructions from the Build-it-yourself section further up, so that they are more prominently displayed.

We do not support Silicon chips in our NWJS builds yet. Please add the correct platform to our platform list.

https://github.com/MaibornWolff/codecharta/blob/main/visualization/script/build-nwjs.js

Update platforms from:
platforms: ["osx64", "win32", "win64", "linux32", "linux64"]
to
platforms: ["osx64", "osarm64", "win32", "win64", "linux32", "linux64"]

To include an arm build we need to switch to the next major version of nw-builder.
Sadly, the next major version is not yet ready for production, because there are several issues, which renders it not applicable for codecharta.
As soon as it is in a more stable state for building we will update our package script.

Electron suppports arm64. We can also think about switching to electron..

@xndlnk With new release of version 1.120.0 Codecharta now has native ARM support, feel free to try it out! 🚀
