'Install Cloud Foundry CLI in a M1 chip MacBook
tl;dr The Cloud Foundry CLI fails to install in an M1 chip MacBook Pro.
Following the official instructions, using Homebrew in the command:
$ brew install cloudfoundry/tap/cf-cli@8
The output is:
cf-cli@8: The x86_64 architecture is required for this software.
Error: cf-cli@8: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.
Found no binary for the ARM-based architecture of the Apple M1 chip. The same trying with cf-cli@7, or just cf-cli.
How can the Cloud Foundry CLI be installed in an ARM-based architecture?
Solution 1:[1]
The official GitHub project cloudfoundry/cli includes binaries for many architectures, including ARM-based.
Search in the official Releases page, Assets section, and download the binary of the item named cf-cli_osx_arm (currently v8.3.0). Once downloaded, move/rename to any folder included in your PATH environment variable.
Solution 2:[2]
There's an open issue for this.
Until the official tap supports the osx_arm binary, you can use this unofficial tap which is manually updated:
brew install wanddynosios/tap/cf-cli
That said, it seems like the official CloudFoundry maintainers are about to support this officially soon.
