Installation fails on Apple Silicon (M1)

Diagrams rules.

I love diagrams, long since replaced using dot native.

recently I upgraded to an M1 mac, and unfortunately diagrams doesn't seem to work on M1.

npm install -g diagrams

fails due to an electron dependency. Electron will only work with 11.0 or above on m1 - so I checked out this diagrams repository and replaced the dependency, and install npm install . but then it says it installs fine, yet does not / diagrams doesn't work.

I'm not a node developer and the chance of me figuring this out and contributing a solution is very low.

I write in case anyone else has successfully gotten diagrams to install on M1.
