 Experimental support for the Apple Silicon chip architecture was added in node.js v15.3 and full support was added in v16.0.
 Because of this, if you try to install older versions of node as usual, you will probably experience either compilation errors when installing node or out-of-memory errors while running your code.
 
-So, if you want to run a version before v16.0 on an Apple Silicon Mac, it may be best to compile Node Js targeting the `x86_64` Intel architecture so that Rosetta 2 can translate the `x86_64` processor instructions to ARM-based Apple Silicon instructions.
