yarn install problems on macOS 12+

[pztrn]

When trying to execute yarn install on main branch it tries to download electron 7.2.1 and fails to do so.

I'm on M1 powered Macbook Pro and macOS 12.4. Tried node 14, node 18, with yarn and npm - same. Also tried to delete lock files - no go.

yarn install v1.22.19
info No lockfile found.

... and more irrelevant log lines there.

Probably figured it out. Sonixd is not compatible with node 18 (at least in main branch).

Done:

brew link --overwrite node@14

And everything went okay.

Also I have to install python 3 from brew and do this:

ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/python3 /opt/homebrew/bin/python

Otherwise it throws error when trying to compile lzma-native which needs python binary named as python (right now only python3 is available on macOS).

For those who knows - this approach:

PYTHON=/opt/homebrew/bin/python3 yarn install

won't work!

Also, electron-builder should be upgraded to at least 23.0.2: electron-userland/electron-builder#6606
