I’m going through the installation process of installed DAML on a Apple M1 Macbook Pro. Unfortunately, I’m getting the following error when installing the SDK:

```haskell
❯ curl -sSL https://get.daml.com/ | sh
Determining latest SDK version...
Latest SDK version is 2.3.2
Downloading SDK 2.3.2. This may take a while.

FAILED TO INSTALL!

```

Does anyone have a solution for this?

This looks like rosetta might not be installed. Try installing it via [`softwareupdate --install-rosetta`](https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/408379).

Thanks @cocreature, that worked! I didn’t see this step in the docs. I can help out with adding this in if you’d like!

That would be great, we’d be very happy to accept a PR to clarify the installation instructions there.
