Node does not detect correct arch on Raspberry Pi arm64

Question

Node does recognize the correct arch being used. This results in some trouble getting the correct binaries from some dependencies.

uname -m or arch returns aarch64

node -e 'console.log(process.arch)' returns arm

How can I fix this? Tried rebooting and re-installing node.

Answer 1

Resolved by doing a full 64-bit re-install of the os.
