This blog post by The Cypress Team discusses how to run Cypress 10.1.x and below on Apple's M1 ARM architecture using Rosetta 2, emphasizing that native support for Apple Silicon is available in version 10.2.0 and onwards, which offers a performance boost up to 3.5 times faster without the need for Rosetta. The article explains the current limitations in compiling Cypress for ARM-based architecture due to lack of support from Continuous Integration providers and outlines the steps to install Rosetta 2 to run Cypress using Intel emulation. It includes detailed instructions on configuring Terminal/iTerm to operate under Rosetta 2, installing Node.js versions for both x64 and arm64 architectures using Node Version Manager (nvm), and demonstrates running Cypress tests on the M1 for enhanced performance. The post encourages updating to the latest Cypress version for optimal use on the M1 chip.
