# Using CLI releases before version 1.1230.0 on an Apple M1 or M2 machine

**Beginning with version 1.1230.0**, the Snyk CLI supports Apple silicon, including M1 and M2 machines, so **you no longer need the Rosetta 2 software, as suggested on this page**. Snyk recommends always keeping your CLI installation updated to the latest version. You can check which version of the Snyk CLI you have installed by running `snyk --version`.

If you run releases of the Snyk CLI before [version 1.1230.0](https://github.com/snyk/cli/releases/tag/v1.1230.0) on an Apple M1 machine, you may see the following error:

```
$ snyk --version
bad CPU type in executable
```

On an M2 machine, you may see this error:

`Unknown system error -86`

To avoid these errors with releases of Snyk CLI before [version 1.1230.0](https://github.com/snyk/cli/releases/tag/v1.1230.0), install the Apple [Rosetta 2](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT211861) software:

`softwareupdate --install-rosetta`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/developer-tools/snyk-cli/snyk-cli/install-the-snyk-cli/using-cli-releases-before-version-1.1230.0-on-an-apple-m1-or-m2-machine.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
