Bug - Does Nanos support Mac OS M1?

[stevenanthonyrevo]

I've attempted to use a nanovm and was unable to run command ops pkg load eyberg/node:20.5.0 cli only returns package not found.

of course - you might get that msg if you are using a pkg that is x86 only on a (arm) m1 but for this one you shouldn't being seeing that msg

➜  ~ ops pkg load eyberg/node:20.5.0 -a hi.js
running local instance
booting /Users/eyberg/.ops/images/node ...
test
➜  ~ cat hi.js
console.log("test");

(eg: i see this for 20.0.0 but that's cause it is x86 only)

if you want to run an x86 pkg on arm you'd do this:

ops pkg load eyberg/node:v20.0.0 -a hi.js --arch=amd64

Thanks for the help. I've attempted to resolve but got a few error messages after attempting to use node:v20.0.0 on an M1.

.ops/0.1.52/kernel.img no such file or directory and No hypervisor found on $PATH.

Seems like ops requires QEMU, or a Hypervisor. Is there an support for M1 without homebrew?

Any steps on resolving would be great!

you can install ops a handful of ways:

through curl: https://ops.city/
you can install the desktop app and that will just grab the latest ops/qemu for you: https://storage.googleapis.com/cli/darwin/ops.pkg

(this is probably the easiest option for mac users)

or as you mentioned you didn't want to use homebrew: https://github.com/nanovms/homebrew-ops

but yes ops will need qemu to run locally, also - the 'eyberg/node:v20.0.0' as i mentioned earlier is x86 and that's why it's wanting to use that x86 kernel -

Thanks for the helpful links.
I've installed via the ops.pkg the latest version and still unable to find ahypervisor in $PATH for my case. Haven't tried a full restart of the M1.

Ops version: 0.1.42
Nanos version: 0.1.52

I'll attempt to install via homebrew to resolve when I have the chance. Thanks!

the desktop app packages both qemus but I just saw that it was only setting up aarch64 - w/the new update i just made it should have both in /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-aarch64 and /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64

most people would have this in their. path

env | grep PATH

but if not you can add it via (which is what the install script does):

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

you can also just do the brew install qemu https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/qemu and that should add it as well
