Initial stats without any installation:

Development environment setup:
It’s difficult to figure out all the apps which are ported to Apple Silicon. I tried to setup the nodejs development environment and run into following issues:

1. I need different node versions and manage them using nvm. Installing nvm and trying to install node doesn’t work(as of 8th feb 2021). Solution is to launch terminal/iterm with “Open using Rosetta” and then proceed with installing node. This enables x64 for all the apps running from Terminal.
   • right click your terminal app from Finder
   • select “Get Info”
   • enable “Open using Rosetta”

1. Install Rosetta using the command below:

   1	softwareupdate --install-rosetta

2. If running into issues with node applications, ensure you are running with right arch type:

   1	node -p process.arch

   to change arch run the command below:

   1	arch -x86_64 $SHELL

3. With the above settings, I was able to install all required apps using brew

   1	brew install iterm2 alfred licecap sublime-text visual-studio-code karabiner-elements sourcetree araxis-merge itsycal the-unarchiver easyfind omnidisksweeper

Miscellaneous issues:
“You don’t have permission to open the application”

To fix this issue:

1. Open terminal
2. Enter: sudo chmod -R 755 /path/to/app
3. Press enter
4. Then enter your password
5. Open the app and it should work.
