Hi,

Firstly, great product. I’m really enjoying Local by Flywheel and it’s saving me a bunch of time.

I am trying to connect to the WP-CLI by right clicking on the site in the admin and selecting ‘Open Site SSH’.

However, once the terminal window opens, I am greeted with the following error:

```
~ /Users/karlwills/Library/Application\ Support/Local\ by\ Flywheel/ssh-entryrJQNwGw9G.sh ; exit;

Failed to execute process '/Users/karlwills/Library/Application Support/Local by Flywheel/ssh- 
entry/rJQNwGw9G.sh'. Reason:

exec: Exec format error

The file '/Users/karlwills/Library/Application Support/Local by Flywheel/ssh-entry/rJQNwGw9G.sh' is marked as an executable but could not be run by the operating system.

```

Can anyone help? Thanks!
