[Bug]: Fails to run on M1 Mac (OSX 12.1) about streetmerchant

[phennessey]

I was able to get this to work by making a few changes before installing streetmerchant:

brew install --no-quarantine chromium

This installs Chromium without a quarantine in later versions of OSX. This was the problem that kept causing everything to fail.

Then we make a new .zshrc file:

sudo nano ~/.zshrc

Then set the file contents to this:

export PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=true
export PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=$(which chromium)

Then proceed with the regular streetmerchant installation process.

This works without needing to make any changes to the contents of the dotenv file, or messing around inside the node module folders. Granted, this is a system-wide change since it's relying on .zshrc, but if you're a bit of a noob like me, you are only using npm for streetmerchant and nothing else.
