### Step 1.5: Apple Silicon users only: install Rosetta
If you are running Apple Silicon it's highly recommended that you install Rosetta. Many downstream tools still generate `amd64` binaries only, and even if the tools support `arm64`, `asdf` plugins also need to support it, which they may not yet.
**Note**: You will likely hit many problems unless Rosetta is installed.
Check if Rosetta is installed by checking if it is running with the following one-liner:
```shell
pgrep -q oahd && echo "Rosetta is present on the system and is running." || echo "Rosetta is not running."
```
If it is not running, it is likely that it is not installed, so continue with the installation steps:
