After cloning the repo and running:

npm install --save-dev cypress

I encounter this error:

npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! path /Users/xxxxxxx/workspace/cypress-example-kitchensink/node_modules/puppeteer
npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! command sh -c node install.js

I manually install chromium, which worked but still can't get cypress to install in the project?

Other cypress examples such as https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-example-recipes work fine.

Note: cypress-example-kitchensink fails when node 16.16.0 is used, but does work if node 14.20 is used.

Not a fix, but if you're not using Netlify, you can also remove netlify-plugin-cypress (plus relevant Netlify and puppeteer related config if you wish) to make the install successful.

This is an old issue, and I'm wondering what version of Cypress was being used at the time. Are you still having this problem?

Cypress 10.2.0 introduced native M1 support.

I can confirm that everything is working correctly.

node v. 16.18.1 cypress v. 12.10.0

Thanks for following up.
