Recent macOS versions are supported.

The Tecton CLI >= 0.3 supports Mac M1 machines without depending on the Rosetta2 library. The Tecton CLI pipdependencies have arm64 wheels except for grpcio. To use the Tecton CLI >= 0.3 on Mac M1 machines:

  1. Update your macOS to Monterey 12.1 or higher.
  2. Update to the latest version of the XCode Command Line Tools.
