Description

When installing lumo through npm on a 32-bit system I get a 64-bit binary installed:

$ sudo npm install -g lumo-cljs
$ lumo 
bash: /usr/bin/lumo: det går inte att köra binär fil: Formatfel på körbar fil
$ file /usr/bin/lumo
/usr/bin/lumo: symbolic link to ../lib/node_modules/lumo-cljs/bin/lumo
$ file /usr/lib/node_modules/lumo-cljs/bin/lumo

Research direction
Inspect npm package's preinstall or postinstall scripts to see how platform detection is done. Check if 32 bit binaries are included in the package. Consider adding logic to select appropriate binary based on architecture.
