Error: No binary available for arch 'undefined' (M1 Mac)

When trying to run npm install orbit-db@0.28.0 I ran into this error related to go-ipfs

npm ERR! command sh -c node src/post-install.js
npm ERR! https://dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/versions
npm ERR! Error: No binary available for arch 'undefined'
npm ERR!     at getDownloadURL (/Users/andrew/dweb/typed-orbit/node_modules/go-ipfs/src/download.js:162:11)
npm ERR!     at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

npm ERR!     at async module.exports (/Users/andrew/dweb/typed-orbit/node_modules/go-ipfs/src/download.js:251:13)

To solve this, I was able to set an environment variable (Which I found via this this issue in npm-go-ipfs)

export TARGET_ARCH=arm64

Asked and answered my own question above, but wanted to leave a trail for the next M1 Mac soul who runs into this issue.
