I uninstalled my old Homebrew, installed Homebrew, then brew install upx. Not all packages are precompiled for M1, however. I had an old Homebrew install using Rosetta 2, but now Homebrew supports M1 directly. Note if you already tried using the install code from this post and it didn't work, first run a Homebrew uninstall with this code:Īnd then run a fresh install with the code I just wrote. On an M1: The above commands install Homebrew, install UPX via Homebrew, then use UPX.

Then, I tried with the posted instructions here for homebrew, but actually, something went wrong so I went to their official website at brew.sh and got their installation code from there.Īfter you type this in the terminal, you wait for the install and then you type:įor me, it didn't work putting the file on the desktop, so I put it in Applications, and then I wrote this in terminal:Ĭode Block sudo upx -d (and here instead of writing the directory its best to go to Applications > Right click xf-adesk19 and choose Show Package Contents > Contents > MacOS > x-force and simply drag and drop that file after the -d in your terminal and it should visualize the path)Īnd then press enter, and now u should be able to open that file on MacOS Big Sur. In Big Sur Apple removed that option for the users but you can activate it by running this in your terminal Also wondering if it's worth it to upgrade to 1TB SSD as I already have multiple 2TB hard disks lying around since the M1s use swap memory.

Before I started I had to make sure my mac running on Big Sur can accept software installs from Anywhere. 14' M2 Max (12 core CPU, 30-core GPU) 14' M2 Pro (12 core CPU, 19-core GPU) In both cases I'll likely get the 32GB ram to future-proof.
