Installing specific version of NodeJS and NPM on Alpine docker image

I need to use a standard Alpine docker image and install a specific version of Node and NPM. Heres is my attempt so far:

FROM alpine:3.17.2

RUN apk update
RUN apk upgrade
RUN apk add bash git helm openssh yq github-cli

RUN apk add \
    curl \
    docker \
    openrc

# nvm environment variables
ENV NVM_DIR /usr/local/nvm
ENV NVM_VERSION 0.39.3
ENV NODE_VERSION 18.16.0

# install nvm
# https://github.com/creationix/nvm#install-script
RUN curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v$NVM_VERSION/install.sh | bash

# install node and npm
RUN source $NVM_DIR/nvm.sh \
    && nvm install $NODE_VERSION \
    && nvm alias default $NODE_VERSION \
    && nvm use default

# add node and npm to path so the commands are available
ENV NODE_PATH $NVM_DIR/v$NODE_VERSION/lib/node_modules
ENV PATH $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/bin:$PATH

RUN ls -asl $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/bin
RUN ls -asl $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/lib/node_modules/npm/bin

RUN $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/bin/node -v

RUN $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/bin/npm install --global yarn

# Start docker on boot
RUN rc-update add docker boot

# Default commands to bash
ENTRYPOINT ["bash"]

I am getting this:

I am not sure about the "Failed to install Node.js 18.16.0" message, as you will see in my tests with "ls" it seems to be installed?

First I "ls" the bin directory where I expect node to be installed:

RUN ls -asl /usr/local/nvm/versions/node/v18.16.0/bin
#9 sha256:42ba843ab812861bf82e0e493e211095cc749408940b5ec21ce94fabe3997538

#9 DONE 0.1s

This seem ok to me, is it not?

My other "ls" gives this:

RUN ls -asl /usr/local/nvm/versions/node/v18.16.0/lib/node_modules/npm/bin
#10 sha256:c2872332dbb58f191400fa23211a691db9a5f5dc07425bc9d3c83bf1cafb31f8

So npm is here also, looking good?

In my initial post here, I was giving the wrong error message, I am sorry. The error message was from my local machine, which is a Mac with the M2 CPU, and I believe this caused that error, but that is for another day. I need it to run on the build servers, where we are running linux on amd64 so there I have a different error, the following error:

Step 14/17 : RUN $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/bin/node -v
 ---> Running in d63ec3b287d9
/bin/sh: /usr/local/nvm/versions/node/v18.16.0/bin/node: not found
The command '/bin/sh -c $NVM_DIR/versions/node/v$NODE_VERSION/bin/node -v' returned a non-zero code: 127

Error: Process completed with exit code 127.

So my "ls" say node is there but when I try and run it, it is not?

Best regards
Søren
