Research direction
The issue reports that fnm fails on Alpine Linux due to musl libc. Investigate the installation script (fnm.sh) and the prebuilt binary distribution. Check if there is a musl compatible binary or if the binary is dynamically linked against glibc. Look into the build process in the repository's CI (likely GitHub Actions) to see if Alpine builds are produced. Consider solutions such as providing a musl build, using static linking, or updating the script to detect musl and install a compatible version.
