@MatthiasWeisz node versions prior to 16 (<= 16) does not support natively the arm64 (Apple M1 chip). You should either upgrade to node >= 16 or if you are stuck on v14 then run it via the emulator (emulated terminal also) - you can follow this article: https://devzilla.io/using-nodejs-14-with-mac-silicon-m1

It works flawlessly with the latest LTS Version of node 18.8.1 ... just hop over and download it ;)
