My environment is node v14.18.1 npm v6.14.15 "oracledb": "^4.2.0", macbook pro 2020 m1

Answer 1

I installed from binary code and it's work for me

"oracledb": "https://github.com/oracle/node-oracledb/releases/download/v4.2.0/oracledb-src-4.2.0.tgz"

Answer 2

Regarding Apple M1 specifically, it is a 'known' issue.

Below solution worked for me: You probably installed node with either nvm or brew, by doing that you will install the arm64 version and get this error. The only solution for now is to download and install node from the homepage directly.
