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

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:

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.)

easiest solution is just use brew to install ebcli. brew install awsebcli. it will handle all the weird mac related variations for you

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

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

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

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