Problem / Motivation
Feature Request
Background
I am evaluating Zvec for a local-first issue tracking and knowledge base project built with:
- Nuxt
- Node.js
- SQLite
- Local Embedding Models (Transformers.js / ONNX Runtime)
The project targets simple deployment and is intended to run on both servers and developer machines.
Current Issue
When installing @zvec/zvec on an Intel Mac, installation fails with:
Failed to install prebuilt binary for darwin-x64
Proposed Solution
Provide prebuilt binaries for the `darwin-x64` platform during package release, similar to the existing supported platforms.
For example:
- darwin-arm64
- darwin-x64
- linux-x64
- linux-arm64
- windows-x64
The package installer could automatically detect the platform and download the corresponding binary.
If full support is not planned, documenting the source build process for darwin-x64 would also be helpful.
Alternatives Considered
Current workarounds are limited:
- Use a Linux environment or Docker container.
- Use an Apple Silicon Mac instead of an Intel Mac.
- Attempt to build from source manually.
However, these options increase the barrier to evaluation and local development. Prebuilt darwin-x64 binaries would provide a smoother developer experience.
