Unable to install grpc-tools via npm or yarn on mac m1 chip?

Commands Used to install:

npm install -g grpc-tools

yarn add global grpc-tools

While trying to install grpc-tools on mac m1 BigSur. I ran into errors pasted below:

TL;DR:

softwareupdate --install-rosetta
# Open terminal in x86_64 mode:
arch -x86_64 zsh
source "${NVM_DIR}/nvm.sh"
# Install any another version of node (will be installed x86_x64 version):
nvm install v14
npm install -g grpc-tools

It is problem with package grpc-tools. One of solution for today is using Rosetta. Recommend good tutorial.

I made it work by setting explicitly the npm_config_target_arch to x64, this is probably not the best solution but for now that's all I found. I ran my npm install like this:

npm_config_target_arch=x64 npm i grpc-tools

if I find a better way I'll update that answer.

I was able to work around it by just forcing the x64 binary and letting BigSur deal with it:

yarn add grpc-tools --ignore-scripts
pushd node_modules/grpc-tools
node_modules/.bin/node-pre-gyp install --target_arch=x64
popd

If anyone can find a normal way to install it that would be appreciated.
