ROOT 6.32.18 on macOS 26.0.1 from .pkg asking for Rosetta

ROOT

Hello everyone

I am trying to install ROOT 6.32.18 on my M4 MacBook with macOS 26.0.1 from root_v6.32.18.macos-26.0-arm64-clang170.pkg. This prompts my computer to install “Rosetta” to enable running Intel-based programs on Apple silicon. However, the name suggests this is clearly an ARM binary.

Is this just a leftover of earlier versions or it indeed needs Rosetta?

Thanks

Hello,

this is not expected: the binaries are made on Apple Silicon-based nodes.
On what platform are you trying to install?

And a suggestion to unblock you while we figure this out: have you tried a brew installation of ROOT?
