Error: Rosetta is not currently available in your country or region.

I just got my Mac mini with M1 chip.

I have tried running different intel apps (Chrome, Edge, etc.) but it won't install Rosetta. Screenshot below.

I have also tried command line trick, but no success. Screenshot below.

Every time it keeps giving this error "Rosetta is not currently available in your country or region". I have even tried changing region from United States to United Kingdom, but same error.

Someone else was facing similar error on this post earlier, but it doesn't seem that there was any solution provided.

Please help.

Deepak

PS: It's frustrating that Apple won't pre-install Rosetta!

This error automatically resolved after I rebooted my Mac mini.

My Mac mini came pre-installed with Big Sur 11.0.1 and there are no updates to be installed.

This error is really weird.

I had no problem (MacBook Air, M1, United States). I did update MacOS Big Sur after I took my MacBook Air out of the box. I believe the current version is MacOS 11.0.1.

If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac - Apple Support

The first application I used requiring Rosetta was not a browser. I believe it was Quicken.

What country are you currently in?

What country was the Mac sold/purchased in?
