Can't use Element on Apple M1

[demetrio812]

Hello, at the moment I'm not able to use the cli on Apple M1, I've tried to use brew from a Rosetta 2 terminal and it installed it, however when I try to run init it gives this error:

element init        
> INFO UPDATE AVAILABLE The latest stable version of element-cli is 1.5.1
> INFO Get it by running brew upgrade element
Initializing '/Users/denny/workspaceNW/fit-kab-dao-api/element_load_testing'
? A URL to use in the generated test script. (https://challenge.flood.io) > Error! An unexpected empty rejection occurred
 rejection: null
this is a bug, please report it here https://github.com/flood-io/element/issues/new?template=bug_report.md

that as after a fresh install, tried to do brew upgrade element but same result (and same request to update).

Then I've tried with npm and I've got an issue with chromium not being available for arm64 (but would be good to have an initial support for Element even without browser):

npm i -g element-cli

Any workaround?
