Can't install new project on M1 Mac

See original GitHub issue

Bug Report

Dependencies fail to install. Seems to hang up and die on node-sass and/or libsass dependencies. Looks like there’s known issues with node-sass support for M1? The errors thrown aren’t particularly clear or seemingly helpful.

https://github.com/sass/node-sass/issues/3033

Possible Solution

Not sure yet, I’ve tried different versions of node (14, 16, and 18) with no difference.

Steps to Reproduce

On an M1 Mac, try to run npm i or yarn in a newly created project via create-payload-app, or npm init -y && npm i --legacy-peer-deps payload in a blank directory.
