Hi. I tried to install rosetta 2 for RStudio in my M3 Pro Macbook Pro using terminal. Some error was shown, but at the end it was also shown that rosetta 2 was installed successfully. I don't know how to check if it was installed.

The terminal message was "softwareupdate[62376:5738187] Package Authoring Error: 052-22577: Package reference com.apple.pkg.RosettaUpdateAuto is missing installKBytes attribute

Install of Rosetta 2 finished successfully"

How do I check if I have rosetta installed or not. By the way, I don't see the message about rosetta not being available whenever I am opening RStudio (which I was seeing earlier). However I want to know if everything is alright.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.2

according to official Apple articles, YOU do not need to intervene in any way to get Rosetta onto your Mac when it is needed. It is supposed to install itself when you run software that requires it.

from:

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

You invoked unusual methods to install it manually, and you got some unusual error messages while doing so.

The steps you took are said to be unnecessary. There is nothing to fix.

<< I don't see the message about rosetta not being available whenever I am opening RStudio (which I was seeing earlier). >>

Then you are done.

Go get your RStudio work done, and do not allow this to consume a MOMENT of your thoughts.

I have seen that in Apple website. However upon opening RStudio, no such option to install rosetta directly came. What came was a "Get more info" button that redirected me to this:

RStudio Desktop Administration Guide - Installation (posit.co)

Because it's official posit website instructions, I did it. I don't know what happened. :)

I got the same error when trying to install/update rosetta while installing Flutter on MacBook Air M1. The Flutter installation procedure ask to run "sudo softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license".

Thank you for the info. Will ignore the error and move on.
