  • Description: I downloaded Docker.dmg for Mac with Intel chip and followed the straight-forward direction to run it. And ended up getting error which says that Rosetta requires Arm64, please see below error:

I tried several times via terminal as well but getting the same issue. Please help resolving this. Thank you!

Are you sure that you downloaded the release for the Intel architecture? The filename of the download will not reflect the cpu architecture, which makes it hard to spot if the wrong version is downloaded.

You could try again to download a “Mac with Intel chip” relase from the release notes page:

Hi @meyay Thank you responding. Yes, I ensured to follow the correction steps with correct package a several times, but no luck.
