GraalVM currently does not support Apple M1 chips yet (we are actively working on it, see: oracle/graal#2666). In the meantime, you can run GraalVM on Rosetta 2. For that, you need to run brew in a Rosetta-enabled terminal.

@fniephaus we had an update on graalvm, now it supports arm architecture (mac m1)

I'm pleased to announce that we uploaded the first snapshot containing darwin-aarch64: https://github.com/graalvm/graalvm-ce-dev-builds/releases/tag/22.1.0-dev-20220321_2332

The following components are available for this platform:

- JVM with libgraal
- native-image
- JavaScript
- Espresso

Hey @avelino, yes, M1 support has landed in GraalVM. However, we have to wait for the 22.1 release, which is due next month, before we can add support for M1 machines to this tap. In the meantime, you can try out dev builds: https://github.com/graalvm/graalvm-ce-dev-builds/releases/latest

[KevinRoebert]

Is it possible to create a homebrew tap for the nightly build?

[fniephaus]

Technically it's possible, but I don't think it's a good idea as dev builds are volatile so we'd need to keep this repo in sync.

Do you have a good use case for dev builds beyond M1 support? Note that there is also a GitHub Action for GraalVM, which allows you to use GraalVM dev builds on macOS.

Do you have a good use case for dev builds beyond M1 support?

Currently, no ^^

[fniephaus]

Currently, no ^^

Fair enough! Anyway, I managed to look into this: you can now run the following to install an M1 dev build:

brew install --cask graalvm/tap/graalvm-ce-java17
# or
brew install --cask graalvm/tap/graalvm-ce-java11

Tried installing it, failing for me

# uname -m
arm64

# brew install --cask graalvm/tap/graalvm-ce-java17

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java17-22.1.0-dev/Contents/Home/bin/java: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

Edit:
Note - Downloading same binary, extracting and running is working fine

Fixed:
Using xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java17-22.1.0-dev

[KevinRoebert]

Have you removed the quarantine bit? See also oracle/graal#2666 (comment)

$ sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/GRAALVM_HOME

[brandonstubbs]

@KevinRoebert thanks that worked!
