How to run a node on MacOS Big Sur & M1?

General

Hi there!

I’m completely new to running an Algorand node. After following the steps over at Install a Node - Algorand Developer Portal, I understand my chip platform (M1) isn’t supported yet.

Is there a roadmap or backlog I can check to see if/when the platform will be supported?

Thank you so much for any pointers!

Welcome to Algorand!

Have you tried to force the command to be run using Rosetta 2?

I have the same issue. Could you please share the command line?

Run the x86 Terminal app using the link above.
Do not use the normal Terminal app.

Then follow the documentation to install Algorand on macOS: Install a node - Algorand Developer Portal
