Can't seem to install it (npm i)

Firstly, I have to run it with --force flag as some deps don't work ok.

Could this be related to being on M1 on a Mac?

It could be due to the reason you said. Does the prebuilt binary work?

I can confirm that the pre-built binary works on the MacBook Air M1.
It runs the intel version non-natively through Rosetta.

I had the same issue with the exact error of @theodorDiaconu , indeed updating spectron and electron did the trick.
Thanks.
