Versions higher than 4.51.2 fail to install on macOS

[melgu]

Describe The Bug

I cannot install any version higher than 4.51.2 on macOS.

Just installing homebridge-config-ui-x without providing a version installs version 4.50.6.

I have the latest version of Homebridge installed (1.8.5).

Is this caused by not officially supported node version 23?

Also seeing this after brew update bumped me to node 23.

What version of macOS? Also has only brew install of node is not recommended and only even versions are supported by Homebridge.

[melgu]

macOS Sequoia 15.1

So I guess the node version is the issue then, right?

[grzegorz914]

On my side was same problem after update node to 23.x, revert back to 22.x fixed all.

Known issue, NodeJS 23 on MacOS will not build node-pty required for the UI

Am working on it here
