I have a Macbook M1 machine, trying to install Dapr via the MacOS instructions at docs.dapr.io.

When typing this command:

sudo curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dapr/cli/master/install/install.sh | /bin/bash

I received the following output:

The darwin_arm64 arch has no native binary, however you can use the amd64 version so long as you have rosetta installed
Use 'softwareupdate --install-rosetta' to install rosetta if you don't already have it
Installing Dapr CLI...

Getting the latest Dapr CLI...
Installing v1.0.1 Dapr CLI...
Downloading https://github.com/dapr/cli/releases/download/v1.0.1/dapr_darwin_amd64.tar.gz ...
cp: /usr/local/bin/dapr: Permission denied
Failed to install dapr
Failed to install Dapr CLI
For support, go to https://dapr.io

This is a relatively new machine and I haven't changed any folder permissions - so this is how it ships. Here are my permissions for /usr/bin:

drwxr-xr-x  18 root  wheel  576 Mar 15 19:16 bin

The /usr/bin folder doesn't already have a dapr folder. I have Rosetta installed. Also, I added the sudo after getting Permission Denied, but that didn't help. I'll try the manual install if I don't find the answer, but still wondering what I'm missing?

Do you have homebrew installed? I think homebrew uses /usr/local/bin and I think we may be implicitly relying on that. Or something may have changed in 11.0.

Docs say Homebrew isn't supported for M1 Macs.

I was able to install Homebrew, but received the following message when installing Dapr:

% brew install dapr/tap/dapr-cli

Do not report this issue to Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core!

Got it - a bug in the install script. On line 37, change:

if [ "$OS" == "linux" ] && [ "$DAPR_INSTALL_DIR" == "/usr/local/bin" ]; then

to:

if [[ "$OS" == "linux" || "$OS" == "darwin" ]] && [ "$DAPR_INSTALL_DIR" == "/usr/local/bin" ]; then

That's because in line 36:

OS=$(echo `uname`|tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')

uname returns Darwin, which in turn makes OS be darwin. So you have to check for both linux and darwin.

Great you found the bug.
Would you like to submit a PR to fix this?

Thanks - Working on it now.
