I need Rosetta 2. The forum said to install the Rosetta 2 Updater.
I receive: "An error has occurred. Please try again later." message every time I try to install the updater. Please help!
I have a Mac mini (M1, 2020)
How do I get around this?
Mac mini 2018 or later
If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac
Rosetta 2 enables a Mac with Apple silicon to use apps built for a Mac with an Intel processor.
If you have a Mac with Apple silicon, you might be asked to install Rosetta in order to open an app.
Click Install, then enter your user name and password to allow installation to proceed. Rosetta will then be available for any of your apps that need it.
About Rosetta
Rosetta 2 works in the background whenever you use an app built only for Mac computers with an Intel processor. It automatically translates the app for use with Apple silicon.
In most cases, you won't notice any difference in the performance of an app that needs Rosetta. But you should contact the app developer to inquire about a version that can natively use the full power and performance of Apple silicon.
Which of your apps need Rosetta?
You can use Get Info to identify apps that need Rosetta or can use Rosetta:
The Info window for universal apps includes the setting “Open using Rosetta.” It enables email apps, web browsers, and other apps to use add-ons that haven't been updated to support Apple silicon. If an app doesn't recognize a plug-in, extension, or other add-on, quit the app, select this setting, and try again.

What version macOS is presently installed Big Sur 11.3.1 or latest Big Sur 11.4 ?
Check in About this Mac >> System Report >> Installations. Does Rosetta2 show as installed ? Is there a listing for more than one update to Rosetta 2?
Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, alter, modify, remove or delete or attempt to do so is an invitation for disaster and may require a Reinstallation of the OS.
Big Sur 11.4
It shows installed on 6/23/21 with only one installed but it doesn't show up
If one means Rosetta 2 does not show up as a Standalone Application ? It is Part of the Operating System of Big Sur and is not a standalone application in the traditional manner.
