Apple has done so many architecture transitions (amazingly well, it's worth noting) that there's an old utility to help with this:
arch -arch x86_64 /System/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app/Contents/MacOS/Terminal
On an M1 Mac, this has the same effect as clicking the "Open using Rosetta" checkbox, in an app's "Get Info" window, except it's:
- for this run only; you likely want to generally run Terminal native
- via command-line - which is why you're in Terminal anyway 😏
Why would you want to do this? Let's say you're using brew and not ready to try the M1 version - this then requires doing basic things like `brew upgrade` using Rosetta.
(BTW: For anyone not familiar with this sort of thing, it will open a second instance of the app; it doesn't affect the currently-running instance.)
