My site builds fine on my local machine (M1 Mac) but not at all on Netlify.  
I have my NODE\_VERSION env variable set to 16, but deploy is loading node 10.

Here’s as much of the deploy message is it will let me post:

> Attempting Node.js version ‘10’ from .nvmrc

It would appear there is a `.nvmrc` file in the repository with the value of `10` which is overriding the `NODE_VERSION` environment variable.

Remove the file if you wish to use the variable, or change the value in the file to `16` and remove the environment variable.
