Description

I am running fnm on Alpine, meaning no glibc thus official node.js build can't be used. I set the appropriate mirror env variable to the unofficial one, but it still fails to install because my arch is x64 but the unofficial build has -musl appended onto that. Hopefully a flag to override that can be added

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the architecture detection logic in the codebase and add a flag to override the detected architecture for musl based systems.
