Prompt user to install Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon after `Authorization is Required to install the packages` error when installing
I get the error "Download failed: Authorization is required to install the packages" for a lot of packages I try to install. I am signed in to the AppStore and I couldn't find anything in the docs about this error.
Here's an example: % mas install 453114608 ==> Downloading JSON Helper for AppleScript Error: Download failed: Authorization is required to install the packages
Any help/guidance is appreciated. Or maybe this is a bug or limitation? Thanks!
It appears to be working for me now. I did install Rosetta 2 after reporting my issue. Is there any chance that's required for it to work? If so that'd be worth adding a check for.
Ran into the same issue on a new install of Ventura on an M1 MBP. Installing rosetta (by running sudo softwareupdate --install-rosetta) did the trick for me too. At first it didn't work, but it turned out I had to reboot before it started working.
Just found this utility as part of my dot files review and setup 😀
I had same issue on a new M2 Mini - installing rosetta AND rebooting did the trick ....brilliant
