RESOLVED: Using grunt

[erikhansen]

@drpayyne I got my M1X MacBook and I'm delighted to say that I've gotten several projects setup and running locally. Loading the /customer/account/login page is 2x faster than my Intel Mac, and I compared a setup:di:compile command and it's running 3-4x faster.

I just did a brand new install of Magento 2.4.3-p1 and tried to install Grunt using the Magento instructions and ran into this error:

Have you by chance worked around this issue? I see there is an arm64 build for PhantomJS, but I'm not very familiar with npm, so it's not apparent to me how to fix this issue.

If you've not run into this issue, I may try to dig into it on my own.

I believe I've worked around this issue, using these steps. I'll report back if I run into any issues.

warden shell
wget https://github.com/fg2it/phantomjs-on-raspberry/releases/download/v2.1.1-jessie-stretch-arm64/phantomjs
chmod +x phantomjs
sudo mv phantomjs /usr/local/bin/
npm install

> [email protected] install /var/www/html/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt
> node install.js

Considering PhantomJS found at /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
Found PhantomJS at /usr/local/bin/phantomjs ...verifying
Writing location.js file
PhantomJS is already installed on PATH at /usr/local/bin/phantomjs

I was then able to run grunt commands without issue.

Thank you so much for this!

@drpayyne You're most welcome! I'm so glad you put together this fork as I've loved working on my M1X.
