Some more info, like the version you’re trying to run, would be useful 🙂 Rosetta can’t handle AVX instructions, so my _guess_ is you’re trying to run an odd-numbered release, which is compiled with AVX instructions. The lower-numbered even releases are the ones without AVX (e.g. 7.1.21 is AVX, 7.1.20 is the same version but without AVX). Try one of those.
