npm run build failing with below error
ERROR Failed to compile with 9 errors
I am following this document to get n8n locally
Tried cleaning lerna but didn’t work, Has anyone else experienced this before on mac m1? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hey @sushant_a,
Welcome to the community 
I am currently using an M1 Mac but not have not seen this before, It looks like the lerna command was missed.
Can you confirm the exact commands you ran and the order? Is it also a fresh clone of the repo or one you have been working on?
Hi @Jon
Thanks
I followed these steps and Its fresh clone
git clone https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n
cd n8n
lerna bootstrap --hoist
npm run build
npm run start
Hey @sushant_a,
Interesting, They should work it is the same steps I take. Did the lerna command fail at all? Can you try again with the latest code base in a different folder?
On lerna bootstrap --hoist,it succeed

Hi @sushant_a,
I encountered the same error recently, on a Mac M1.
Have you checked that you are running node js on version 16, using node --version ?
If not, you can :
- install node 16
brew install node@16
- unlink the node installation you are running and replace it with node 16
brew unlink node
brew link —overwrite node@16
- modify PATH
echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/node@16/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
Hope this helps !

That is a good shout, I had assumed Node 16 but I don’t think we have updated that doc to mention it yet.
I was on using node v14 so I upgraded node to 16 and linked it but still it throws the same error
Any other possible problems?
Here is full output.

That is odd, I just gave it another go and it is still working 
I am really not sure what is going, I have given it a test on another M1 I have access to that I had to install Node on and that was all good as well.
I will have a think.
