Trying to create a new site after a fresh install on a brand new M3 MacBook Pro (Sonoma 14.1). I get this error: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/0/1/01aeffdd26314e51229012fdca002af792ef353b.png) And then after clicking OK I get this error after the app enters the ‘deleting’ state: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/6/e/6ef6388751fa12877a0856a219a25d0f9c990ec8.png) Any insights are appreciated.

Solved it. Looks like I needed Rosetta installed. Thanks. ---

Good catch @_sh! For those checking, 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](https://osxdaily.com/2020/12/04/how-install-rosetta-2-apple-silicon-mac/)** > > Rosetta 2 is necessary if you want to be able to run older non-native Intel x86 apps on new Apple Silicon Macs, like the M1 MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, or Mac mini. Curiously, Rosetta 2 is not instal… ---

Thanks again. That particular OSX Daily article is spammy with advertisements. Would be great to see a more official/less spammy set of instructions for installing Rosetta 2. ---

Sorry about that. Really just using the command should work and has for most. Hopefully we won’t have a need for either soon 🙂 ---
