MacOS M1 install using Virtualbox beta

Hi all,

Now that there is a beta of Virtualbox for M1 Macs, has anyone successfully used this route to install? I’ve tried following the instructions, but upon starting up the VM I get an immediate error about an unsupported CPU. Is there a separate virtual image needed for this type of install?

VirtualBox for M1 only supports 32-bit x86 emulation so there is no supported OS you can use to run Home Assistant (yet).

Thank you - where did you find that information btw, as I’m struggling. :slight_smile:
