Hi @mehedi1 If you’re on Windows it’s likely that some security, antivirus, or firewall application is blocking Local from making connections. You may need to check around that Local isn’t being blocked anywhere and has the permissions it needs. You can start here: > [@Help! I'm running into an EPERM error with the hosts file on Windows](https://community.localwp.com/t/help-im-running-into-an-eperm-error-with-the-hosts-file-on-windows/3508): > > This is usually caused by the hosts file being set to read-only or locked by anti-virus. 1. Remove Read-only Attribute Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc Right-click on the hosts file and go to “Properties” Uncheck “Read-only” Click “Apply” Re-open Local Screenshot 2. Anti-Virus/Internet Security Avira See [https://answers.avira.com/en/question/avira-blocks-hosts-file-what-can-i-do-90](https://answers.avira.com/en/question/avira-blocks-hosts-file-what-can-i-do-90)Kaspersky Total Security Open Kaspsersky Total Security Go to “More Tools” Go … Are you running other developer applications simultaneously? That could also cause similar issues. Apps like MAMP, XAMPP, or Docker for example. ---

Hi @yiting I believe you’re running into a different issue which is that it looks like you need to install Rosetta. Rosetta 2 is required for Local’s Apple Silicon build due to the Nginx and MySQL Lighting Services compiled on the Intel architecture. We do plan to have a Local release out in the future that will drop this dependency but for now it is necessary. You can install Rosetta by opening up a terminal window and using this command: `softwareupdate --install-rosetta` Others have found this doc to be helpful: > **[How To Install Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, and M3)](https://www.macobserver.com/tips/how-to/install-rosetta-2-on-apple-silicon-macs-m1-m2-and-m3/)** > > Discover the essential steps on how to install Rosetta 2 on your Apple Silicon Mac. Seamlessly run Intel-based apps and ensure compatibility. ---
