Unexpected output of 'arch' on OSX (using Mac M1 installing elastic beans)

Question

when trying to install elastic beans on MacBook Air M1, using the following:

% ./aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup/scripts/bundled_installer

as guidelines shown here: https://github.com/aws/aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup

I get the following error:

Thank you for helping!!!

Solution 1

None of the above worked for me. I installed both brew for Apple Silicon and Intel:

arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

And then installed pyenv from:

/usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew install pyenv
/usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew link pyenv
arch -x86_64 pyenv install 3.8.9

And that worked

Edit

As Cheesus points in the comments, seem the only thing to do is the last line:

arch -x86_64 pyenv install 3.8.9

Solution 2

I also just switched to an M1, and I also got the same error. (coming from pyenv install 3.8.9.)

Installing 3.8.10 worked for me. They mention the M1 specifically on the 3.8.10 releases page, so maybe something had to be sorted out:

Python 3.8.10 ships two installers: the default 64-bit-only that works on macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) and later systems, and an experimental "universal2" installer for macOS 11 (Big Sur) and later

(This is if you need 3.8x for whatever reason. They're on 3.9.x right now.)

Solution 3

The arch command can be used to run specific commands via Rosetta:

arch -x86_64 ./aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup/scripts/bundled_installer

Solution 4

Run the terminal using Rosetta - a translation process that allows users to run apps that contain x86_64 instructions on Apple silicon.

To do so -

1. command+space, type: Utilities => will get you to the utilities folder
2. duplicate the terminal app - call it terminal_x86
3. terminal_x86 => get info, mark open using Rosetta

This is not really ideal since you need only once and not for everything you run in terminal @elijahr solution is far better

[Darren Bishop]

Think you need to be careful how you use PyEnv with Rosetta; it's not clear to me what the system will do when running or building both apps targeting arm64 and i386 (due to 'non-universal' dependencies etc). And because Homebrew is now shaded to /usr/local/homebrew/... it wants to build some packages from source, as dependencies on /usr/local/... are no longer met, which now fails as build tools are not i386. I repeat, none of it is clear to me

This is the M1 PYENV install PYTHON 3.8 you are looking for!

[John Q]

After installing everything and running into this error, just running this worked: "arch -x86_64 pyenv install 3.8.9"

I don't think that's a valid solution. Already tried in mine and seems to be too random

[cheesus]

Yes, you can shorten your answer. The last command is the one that we need. (the /usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew commands run into errors, btw).
