How Can I Manually Install Rosetta 2?

How Can I Manually Install Rosetta 2 on my Late 2021 16" MacBook Pro M1 Max OS Ventura 13? Only answers I see is in regards to receiving a pop up window when trying to run Intel based app. I need to know how to actually manually install Rosetts 2 "without the pop up." Thanks

macOS automatically installs Rosetta 2 when needed but if you feel compelled to install it manually, run this command in the Terminal…

I'm compelled..... I'm trying to get one of the worst apps to work on the planet; Garmin Basecamp. It has always ran like a P.O.S. on Monterey and prior Mac O.S. Some users on the Garmin site states that it's working slightly better running Rosetta 2 therefore, I'm compelled to install it. It doesn't surprise me that I'm not getting the prompt for installing. Thanks.
