Is there a way to install KX Developer on Macbooks with M1 or M2 processors? Because when I run install.sh, it returns a message stating that only x86\_64 architectures are supported when M1 and M2 is built on ARM64.

Hi mhickman,

I don’t believe ARM64 is officially supported at this time, however you could try using Rosetta to run Intel based applications on your ARM64 based mac: [If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac Apple Support (UK)](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT211861")

You will also need to install Developer's dependencies via the Rosetta terminal i.e. brew install [x]

Kind regards, David
