Future: Add support for darwin/arm64 binaries will available

robertpeteuil opened this issue 4 years ago · comments

When darwin/arm64 binaries are available, adjust cpu detection logic to determine and create correct download URL for this platform/cpu. (possibly combined logic adjustment with issue #7)

These binaries likely wont be available until Go 1.16

Hi Robert,
While I don't unfortunately have such a machine in my use, I would still be happy to have the support ready while waiting for the first official darwin/arm64 release. The same lack of machine means that I can't really test the detection logic either. Any change you know a reliable way? 😃

Unfortunately, I don't have an M1 machine to test on either.

I think detecting the OS/CPU will likely be the easy bit, as I'll also need to combine a version check with the Arch detection (as only newer versions will be available for Arm).

Fortunately if you want to download the latest version, HashiCorp now has their own Homebrew Tap

I have verified that uname -m prints arm64 on M1 machines (x86_64 on Intel), so that could be a good option.

Yeah, and Homebrew has their own Formulas and Bottles, even for arm64 already.

But I'll need this for the chtf version switcher for those who for whatever reason don't want to use Homebrew (in which case all Terraform releases can be found in homebrew-terraforms Tap).
