@preveen-stack @YunusCorum I used this archived https://github.com/vercel/pkg project and it worked.

My issue is "Error: Multiple occurences of sentinel "NODE_SEA_FUSE_fce680ab2cc467b6e072b8b5df1996b2" found in the binary"
for macos and node v20.10.0 (and v20.11.0 LTS too)

stuck with this running v20.11.0 on darwin, eventually switched to v20.0.0 (https://nodejs.org/dist/v20.0.0/node-v20.0.0-darwin-x64.tar.gz and https://nodejs.org/dist/v20.0.0/node-v20.0.0-darwin-arm64.tar.gz) and it seems to be working.

probably it wasn't quite right because I obtained that node's binary from a ".pkg"-distributed version
UPD: sure, you still have to use most modern node version (since postject won't work otherwise), but fetch it as

when I use moonrepo/proto to install node, I needed to run
cp $(proto bin node) helloinstead of
cp $(command -v node) helloto copy a plain Node.js binary not a shim in step 4 of the guide.

Same issue for me. It worked a couple of times but now I get this error. (Node 20.14.0)

Yup, that error is gone but still, it doesn't work:
