Here are some things you may check:<br/>
- Make sure at least Java JDK 17 is installed on your Mac. Possible downloads are<br/>

depending from your Mac.<br/>
- Make sure to use SQuirreL's Mac-Installer jar. The one for the latest snapshot can be found here:<br/>

<p>For me double clicking this installer jar installed SQuirreL without any problem.</p></div>Mac on Apple silicon prompts to install Rosetta2025-12-12T20:39:22.624000Z2025-12-12T20:39:22.624000ZGarthhttps://sourceforge.net/u/xgp/https://sourceforge.net07780b03c3ec73a1457651638cfafbe187d409c9<div class="markdown_content"><p>I have downloaded the mac installer jar, run it, and then attempted to run the installed application from /Applications/ dir. This prompts me to install Rosetta, as it somehow thinks that it is executing an intel native binary. <br/>
When I download the "plain" zip, I have no problem running it without a prompt to install Rosetta.<br/>
I think the issue is that the layout of the installed package is not what apple is expecting, and causes it to find or think it has found an intel executable.</p></div>
