Reinstalling the Universal Binary version of the tools did the trick: I realized one minor exception when I wanted to explore binaries with the lipo tool since all the 'Xcode command line tools' remained in x86_64 and there was a library mismatch. This took ~8 seconds until x86_64 Chrome opened on ARM. Longest Rosetta2 translation run was for Google Chrome. After this step all my x86_64 stuff works since Rosetta2 kicks in with first invocation and does the 'binary translation' job so from then on the translated binary will be invoked directly.
#ISTATISTICA PRO M1 INSTALL#
I needed to fire up one of the many 'migrated' Intel GUI applications below /Applications/ first so I've been asked whether I want to install Rosetta2. Safari starts with the ~60 tabs open I had on the Intel MBP, my text editor opens with all the documents I had opened on the Intel MacBook (lots of unsaved documents too) but random x86_64 CLI tools below /usr/local/bin/ do not execute.

my whole homebrew install and some other x86_64 binaries).Īfter this migration, a macOS update to 11.0.1 and a reboot everything works as it should. Setting this new laptop up the easy/lazy/noob way: finishing last TimeMachine backup on my i7 MacBook Pro 16", firing up the new MacBook Air, connecting the TM disk to the Air and let Migration Assistant transfer everything (this includes a lot of stuff below /usr/local/ e.g. I try to focus on the stuff that is not mentioned everywhere else on the Internet. For some closer looks inside the new laptops visit iFixit. While most people talk about the ISA only (switching from Intel to ARM) the transition is a bit more than this since those Apple SoCs also contain a lot more than just CPU cores (GPU and Machine Learning cores, SSD and memory controller, various accelerators for video, crypto, etc.)įor a more broad overview what to expect with the new platform check Anandtech or others.
