I am having similar issues. In my case, I found that there was no prebuilt binary for my system. Nodeenv is trying to download this file, but it does not exist: https://nodejs.org/download/release/v17.5.0/node-v17.5.0-linux-x86.tar.gz

Do you have an m1 chip? it seems there's no prebuilt binary for this architecture.

I have a similar issue and want to share what I tried.

The urlib 404 occurs because there's no binaries for darwin arm64 for versions lower than 16.latest I think. You can check all versions here.

You can try building node from source instead of using a prebuilt with --source -j 4, similar to the make syntax. For me this still fails on multiple ends when I try to run it.

The only thing that has helped me was running older node versions with rosetta compatibility mode. This doesn't work with nodeenv though so that's not a lot of help either.

So this is still a bit of a workaround but you can start terminal with rosetta support so everything run within it, will use the intel binaries and does not rely on arm64 binaries.

For this

• go into you applications/utilities folder
• create a duplicate of terminal
• rename it to terminalRosetta or whatever else you'd like to call it
• right click terminalRosetta
• get Info
• activate the tickbox for "Open using Rosetta"
• run terminalRosetta (double click it)

And then run your script or nodeenv directly from within terminalRosetta. I just tested this and for me it worked with nodeenv using node 12.22.12.

So as long as there are no binaries for darwin arm64 for node versions <16.* this seems to be your best bet.
