How to Install Rosetta on Mac for All SysTools Software

Two simple ways to install Rosetta so the tool opens on your Mac

Summary: All SysTools Software need Rosetta on Macs with Apple silicon when it runs as an Intel-based app. Install it with the macOS prompt in Method 1 or with a Terminal command in Method 2. Each method takes three steps.

Prerequisites

  • A Mac with Apple silicon (M-series chip).
  • An active internet connection.
  • The password of your Mac user account.

Method 1: Install Rosetta from the macOS Prompt

STEP 1

Click Install on the Rosetta Prompt

Open All SysTools Software. If your Mac does not have Rosetta, macOS shows the message To use Intel-based apps, you will need to install Rosetta. Click Install.

STEP 2

Allow macOS to Install the Software

A second window says macOS is trying to install Apple software and asks for your password to continue.

Verify That Rosetta Is Installed

To confirm, type "pkgutil --pkg-info com.apple.pkg.RosettaUpdateAuto"" in Terminal and press Return. Terminal lists the Rosetta package details, including version, volume, location and install-time. If these details appear, Rosetta is installed. If Terminal reports that no receipt was found, repeat the installation.
