Halogen can't be built on linux-arm64

Author: krausestCreated Jul 12, 2026Updated Jul 16, 2026

I'm trying to move to a VM on my macbook. Sadly compiling halogen doesn't work.

bash
npm run build-prod

> [email protected] build-prod
> spago build && purs-backend-es bundle-app --to output-es/bundle.js


✘ Failed to find purs. Have you installed it, and is it in your PATH?

and purs returns:

node_modules/.bin/purs
purescript npm installer: installation failed; please try installing again

Is there a way to build it on arm64? @j-nava @thomashoneyman Can you help?
