The package installs on ARM Raspberry, but will not run since it is not an ARM executable

[Darker]

I have tried to install fnm on raspberry pi. There are two issues that should be handled:

1. The installer passes and does not report an error due to the wrong CPU architecture (ARM instead of x86)
2. There is no ARM build currently afaik

The errors you'd see if you followed the install steps is:

user@raspi:~ $ source /home/jakub/.bashrc
-bash: /home/user/.local/share/fnm/fnm: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

I suppose I could try to build it myself on the raspi to get the working version, but I guess I'll just install node manually and hope I don't need to upgrade too often.

As a workaround you can install fnm using cargo.

I don't think that would help. The issue here is wrong version installed. Sadly, there seems to be no correct version available compiled for armv6. I had to compile it myself.

I understand the original issue with the wrong architecture. Cargo install will compile the executable on the platform (I've tried that before posting the workaround). The only drawback is that you need the whole rust setup and it takes some time. But again, you usually do it just once so it might be workt waiting.

Wait, did it actually compile though? Because it ran out of memory on my raspi. Heck, it ran out of memory on my desktop in WSL too, and it took like 4 hrs to compile on Ryzen 9 7950.

Yes, on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 with 1GB memory. cargo 1.85.0 (d73d2caf9 2024-12-31) rustc 1.85.0 (4d91de4e4 2025-02-17) compiled version is fnm 1.38.1 - just using `cargo install fnm`
