Actual Results

When running make install on Apple M1, I get the following error related to the electron dependency:

make: *** [/Users/<redacted>/deps/tmp/electron-v6.0.10-darwin-arm64.zip] Error 22

It looks like electron needs to be at least version 11 to support Apple Silicon/M1/darwin-arm64.

I did some local tests with updating the setup to version 12 and make install was able to complete.

Verifying download...
Success.

Extracting Electron...
Running tests...
v12.2.3

Success.
