try on your machine

The command arch -x86_64 "${command}" is a shell command used to execute a specific command using the x86_64 architecture on a macOS system.

Here's the breakdown of each part:

  • arch: This is the command used to run binary code for a specific architecture on macOS.
  • -x86_64: This option specifies the architecture to use, in this case, x86_64.
  • "${command}": This is a placeholder for the actual command you want to execute using the specified architecture. You need to replace ${command} with the desired command you want to run.

By running this command, you are instructing the shell to execute the specified command using the x86_64 architecture, which may be necessary in some cases to ensure compatibility or performance.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
