I needed to run Terminal
in x86_64
mode (Rosetta) in parallel with Terminal
in arm64
(Apple Silicon native mode), but in the latest versions of macOS, the old way of creating a copy of the Terminal
application and selecting Open using Rosetta
in Get Info
is not available, since Terminal
can’t be copied anymore due to security restrictions.
To overcome this, you can use the following command to open any application in Rosetta mode from either Terminal
or Automator
:
open -a Terminal --new --arch x86_64
This will open a new instance of the Terminal
application. To verify Intel emulation mode, running the arch
command should output i386
as opposed to arm64
when running natively.
