[elm-tooling 1.11.0](https://github.com/elm-tooling/elm-tooling-cli/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#version-1110-2023-01-08) now ships with native binaries for macOS ARM (Apple Silicon)! So if you have a Mac M1 or M2, you no longer need Rosetta for `elm`, `elm-json` and `elm-test-rs`. (You still need it for `elm-format`, though.)

If you have a Linux ARM 64-bit computer, there are now also binaries for `elm`, `elm-json` and `elm-test-rs` (but not `elm-format`).

Finally, if you use a Raspberry Pi, there are ARM 32-bit binaries for `elm`, `elm-json`, `elm-test-rs`, and for `elm-format` 0.8.2, partly thanks to [elm-raspberry-pi](https://github.com/dmy/elm-raspberry-pi/).

Thanks to @supermario for compiling the new `elm` binaries – see [Help test the new npm elm package!](https://discourse.elm-lang.org/t/help-test-the-new-npm-elm-package/8761) for the full story. (For those following along, the [@lydell/elm](https://github.com/lydell/compiler/tree/zero-deps-arm-lydell/installers/npm) npm package provides the same binaries as `elm-tooling` now does – see also the new [comparison](https://elm-tooling.github.io/elm-tooling-cli/faq/#comparison-with-the-elm-and-lydellelm-npm-packages).)

> ℹ If you use macOS ARM (Apple Silicon) and have used `elm-tooling` before, you need to clear previously downloaded binaries in order to get macOS ARM binaries. Otherwise you’ll keep using Rosetta.
> 
> ```bash
> # Remove downloaded binaries:
> rm -R ~/.elm/elm-tooling/
> # Install new binaries:
> cd your-project
> npx elm-tooling install
> 
> ```
> 
> Similarly, if you have tried `elm-tooling` on Linux ARM before, you also need to clear previously downloaded, non-working x86\_64 binaries.

Followup release: [elm-tooling 1.12.0](https://github.com/elm-tooling/elm-tooling-cli/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#version-1120-2023-01-16) contains new macOS and Linux ARM 64 binaries. The ones in this release are compiled from the _same [commit](https://github.com/elm/compiler/commit/c9aefb6230f5e0bda03205ab0499f6e4af924495)_ as the official x86\_64 binaries. The ones in 1.11.0 were compiled from a later commit. See the link for full details.
