Node version

12.14.1

Raspbian version

PRETTY_NAME=“Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)” NAME=“Raspbian GNU/Linux” VERSION_ID=“10” VERSION=“10 (buster)” VERSION_CODENAME=buster ID=raspbian ID_LIKE=debian

Tested on a Pi 4 with 4GB of RAM

Describe the problem or feature request

After installing the tfjs-node dependency, the required rebuild step fails with the message: Unsupported system: cpu-linux-arm

Code to reproduce the bug / link to feature request

Create a dummy test folder named test
In that folder install the latest version of tfjs-node npm i @tensorflow/tfjs-node
Run the rebuild script as indicated by the readme (as per: https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs/tree/master/tfjs-node#rebuild-the-package-on-raspberry-pi)
This results in an error:

> @tensorflow/tfjs-node@1.7.2 install /home/pi/test/node_modules/@tensorflow/tfjs-node
> node scripts/install.js

How can I install a recent version that does work on the rbpi?
