Hi, @Mendy_Illouz. Please could you try: 1. Quitting Local and closing the `/etc/hosts` file if it’s still open. 2. Opening a terminal and entering this command: 3. Opening Local again. If that doesn’t work, please can you [share your Local logs](https://localwp.com/help-docs/troubleshooting/retrieving-locals-log-file/)? ---

@nickc @Mendy_Illouz just wanted to pop in to say that I encountered the same errors on trying to set up my first Local site (also on an M3), and the suggestion to install Rosetta via Terminal seems to have fixed this for me! Upon re-opening Local and trying to add a new site, I got this notification: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/2/b/2bb10452136b043640a3325d2e49d787c567706c.png) After entering my username/password to allow it everything seemed to go smoothly. thanks y’all! ---
