The command arch -arm64 "${command}"
is used to execute a specific program or command ("${command}"
) specifically for the ARM64 architecture on macOS.
Here's an explanation of each part of the command:
-
arch
: It is a command-line utility in macOS that allows you to execute commands or programs for a specific architecture. It determines the architecture of the current system and runs the specified command with the appropriate architecture. -
-arm64
: It is an argument passed to thearch
command, specifying that the specified command should be executed for the ARM64 architecture. The ARM64 architecture is commonly used in Apple Silicon-based Macs and iOS devices. -
"${command}"
: It represents the command or program that you want to execute with the specified architecture. The"${command}"
is a placeholder, and you should replace it with the actual command that you want to run. For example, if you want to run thels
command with ARM64 architecture, you would replace"${command}"
withls
.
By using the arch -arm64
command, you can ensure that a specific program runs using the ARM64 architecture, even if you are using a system that supports multiple architectures.
