Hello Elm community.

It looks like currently Elm is not supported in Docker running natively on ARM/M1 Macs. The problem are not technical difficulties, it just the missing binary build for Linux aarch64. I was able to build a version using the following article: [Install Elm for Linux arm64 - DEV Community](https://dev.to/csaltos/elm-for-linux-arm64-32bc)

Is there a way to add the binary to the existing `0.19.1-5` version on [npmjs.com](http://npmjs.com), or can somebody ship a new version? 😊 If anybody is interested why exactly I can provide you the full story, but I think a new version would really fix all my problems.

Have you tried installing [Nix](https://nixos.org/)? Elm is installable via Nix instead of npm and Nix supports ARM. In the past I used this to get elm working on an Android device. I believe Nix now also have working support for M1 Macs, so you might not even need a Docker container…
