How to setup Mac M1?

Since the M1 Macs have a different architecture than the previous releases, there might be some incompatibility issues with some apps/software/libraries. To avoid that experience you're advised to activate Rosetta https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861.

  • Install all OS updates, via System Preferences
  • To activate Rossetta open Finder
    1. if using iTerm2 go to Applications
    2. if using default Terminal go to Applications/Utilities
  • Right-click the terminal app of your choice and select the Get Info option
  • Then just click on the Checkbox that says Open using Rosetta
  • Restart the terminal
  • Now your terminal can run as it would on an Apple with an Intel processor
  • Install HomeBrew https://brew.sh/ from that terminal
