Nix Build having 64-bit Architecture errors.

[Kaleb47]

Hello, I was trying to build the dependencies that i need to develop plutus, but I ran into an interesting error.

First i run nix build

nix build -f default.nix plutus.haskell.packages.plutus-core.components.library

Then I have this error returned.

error: attribute 'aarch64-darwin' missing, at /nix/store/cyfj6bd0n0ckvkm67mhjyg1qcvrfgsg9-source/artifact.nix:11:10

Could this have anything to do with the M1 chip on my mac?

Thanks I appreciate the help!

Hi there!
As mentioned in this Github issue, there is no plan for Plutus to support apple M1 macs in the near future.

I believe the only fix is to run nix under Rosetta2 and here is how you do it:

1. Add these lines to your /etc/nix/nix.conf file:

system = x86_64-darwin
# system = aarch64-darwin
extra-platforms = x86_64-darwin aarch64-darwin

2. Then run this command to reboot nix: nix-env -iA nixpkgs.nix

Here is more information about this method.
And here is a detailed tutorial on how to install plutus on MacOS.

Hope this helps!

Don't worry, I was able to install everything through Rosetta. I had to run through an intel version of VS code. Everything works!
