Bee CLI binary not found for linux-arm64 on install

[chartmann1590]

Description:
When installing @beeai/cli on a linux-arm64 system (Raspberry Pi 5 running Debian/Ubuntu), the CLI fails to execute because the expected platform-specific binary is missing from the distributed package.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run npm install -g @beeai/cli (or clone and npm link) on a linux-arm64 host.
2. Attempt to run bee --version.

Expected Result:
The CLI should execute and display the version number.

Actual Result:
The command fails with the following error:
Bee CLI binary not found for linux-arm64 at /.../dist/platforms/linux-arm64/bee

Environment:

• OS: Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)
• Architecture: arm64 (aarch64)
• Node version: v22.x
• CLI version: 0.3.0

Suggested Fix / Workaround:
The current postinstall.js logic expects a pre-compiled binary in the dist/platforms directory that matches the host architecture. For arm64 users, the workaround is to manually compile using bun:

1. Install bun.
2. Run bun build ./sources/main.ts --compile --outfile ./dist/bee.
3. Manually move the binary to the expected path: mkdir -p dist/platforms/linux-arm64 && cp dist/bee dist/platforms/linux-arm64/bee.

It would be great if the npm package included the linux-arm64 binary by default or offered a fallback build step during installation for unsupported architectures.

Let me fix this, would be available shortly

pretty sure we have arm64 in it, what exactly the problem you are getting

[chartmann1590]

I just checked and the dist/platforms/linux-arm64 directory doesn't even exist (404 error).

The Issue:
Neither v0.4.5 nor v0.5.0 includes the linux-arm64 binary that's expected to be in dist/platforms/. The maintainer's claim that ARM64 exists is incorrect based on the actual package structure.

Request:
Can you clarify what's actually in the package, or check if there's a separate build/release process for ARM64 that isn't included in npm?

The issue remains unresolved for ARM64 users. 📱
