Support different CPU architectures (ARM most importantly)

[Arcticae]

We need to support running this took natively on apple silicon which is becoming more common, so supporting other archs should not be that difficult

[Arcticae]

QEMU on GH can be used to accomplish it, there's an action which does exactly that:

[Arcticae]

It seems like users with ARMs are able to use protostar with rosetta. Leaving this open for now though

[tarrencev]

this would be great to support for running protostar in arm64 dockers

Just a quick update that I tried to run Protostar natively on my M1 MacBook Pro 14".

I built it from source following the steps outlined here and get the following error when I run protostar test:

If you're on mac - you can use rosetta, so following instructions for installation will work for you (that's the way we use protostar over at SWM)

@Arcticae thanks for the follow-up. I just tried it on my Intel Mac and ran into the exact same error (ailed to execute script 'binary_entrypoint' due to unhandled exception!).

What I did is:

1. Clone the repository
2. Build Protostar from source according to the docs
3. Move the protostar directory to ~/Desktop
4. Run ./protostar/protostar init to create a new project
5. cd into the project
6. Run ../protostar/protostar test

I mean if you're only trying to use it, don't build it from source since it may be difficult. You can just do:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/software-mansion/protostar/master/install.sh | bash

As listed in the instruction here

@Arcticae Is this one done?

[Arcticae]

@MaksymilianDemitraszek TBH no users reported lack of architecture support, i think we can close for now.
