Thanks for testing this, @emilcarpenter. I thought these errors were specific to M1 (I have seen similar errors before) but it seems they happen generally.

As for deprecations, I have avoided that by upgrading other packages as well. I am not sure if the maintainers would prefer to do them in a different issue or this one and that's why I didn't put those changes here. In this MR, I am only including minimal changes to get npm install to work properly.
