rosetta issues with MacBook Pro

I can't download rosetta. It says my computer doesn't support it when I try using the terminal. The computer doesn't give me any options to download / enable rosetta when downloading plug-ins either. Any suggestions?


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5

If your MacBook Pro 13’ has an Intel processor you cannot download Rosetta 2. Rosetta 2 is exclusive to the new M1 Mac. And in either event you should not be trying to download it using the terminal. On an M1 Mac Rosetta 2 will automatically download when it is required, that is when you launch an Intel X86 app.
