Installing Rosetta 2 on this system is not supported.

I cannot install Rosetta 2 on My MBA M1. When I run the command:

/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license


I got this: "Installing Rosetta 2 on this system is not supported."

It does not give me the option anywhere and when I right click on the application for "get info" I see this.. the option where it should say "Open in Low Resolution" or " Rosetta" does not include both options.


If I try simply to open the application, I get this... and no matter how many times I try, I am unable to open the program.. This happens with other applications as well such as the download to run the PreSonus Studio24C interface for my condenser mic. The Rosetta option simply does not show up. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have the same issue with the Logitech G HUB software. No Rosetta 2 checkbox, never asked if I wanted to install Rosetta 2. I am shocked that Logitech’s software for camera, mic and keyboard doesn’t run, particularly on a machine that doesn’t come with a camera, mic or keyboard. BTW, I’m in Canada and can’t imagine that Rosetta is blocked here.


Apple, please tell us how we can use Rosetta on our new Apple M1 chips as intended!

Yes this is exactly what has been happening to me too! I don't remember ever being presented with the option to install Rosetta 2 and I just found out that all my Native Instrument and Roli plugins supposedly require it. They opened up fine when I first downloaded them a few weeks ago onto my new M1 MacBook Pro, but now Logic keeps crashing on me as soon as I open it.


I tried installing through the Terminal App but it also keeps saying ""Installing Rosetta 2 on this system is not supported."


Not sure what else to try, so any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
