Upgrade Storagebuilding zotero 5 for ARM (raspberry)
I have been trying to build zotero 5 for the raspberry pi 4, using the instructions at https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/client_coding/Building_the_standalone_client. I have successfully cloned the Zotero source code in the first step, I have updated my installation of Node.js to node-v12.13.1-linux-armv7l. When following step 2, I cd to the zotero-client directory and run npm i, I get the following:
npm WARN acorn-jsx@5.0.1 requires a peer of acorn@^6.0.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@1.2.7 (node_modules/fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.2.7: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"linux","arch":"arm"})
audited 6720 packages in 41.267s
found 2 vulnerabilities (1 low, 1 critical)
run `npm audit fix` to fix them, or `npm audit` for details
That line about skipping an optional dependency seems to say that I can't compile for the arm platform. Is that true? Is there a way to work around this?

npm run build
I get the following fatal error:

ahead with the next few steps. All of them ran normally. But the standalone binary was in the staging/Zotero_linux-x86_64 directory, which suggests that it was built for intel rather than for ARM, and indeed when i try to run it with staging/Zotero_linux-x86_64/zotero I get "no such file or directory"
