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

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!

Installation/Update output for reference

$ node ./update.sh -i -c stable -p ~/node -d ~/node/data -n

Current Version = 0
This platform arm64 is not supported by updater.

Welcome to Algorand!

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

Thank you so much! This worked well. Cheers!

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
