Installing BMC Client Management on macOS with Apple silicon

BMC Client Management version 21.02 is not natively compatible with Apple Silicon M1 chip available on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini and iMac. To install BMC Client Management on the devices that use macOS with Apple Silicon M1 chip, you must first install the Rosetta 2 overlay. Rosetta is a dynamic binary translator developed by Apple on MacOS Big Sur and later. It enables compatibility between the executables based on the Intel architecture while the editors adapt and compile their software on the ARM architecture.
