#20327 Unable to run ./scie-pants-macos-aarch64 from a clean macOS install on Apple Silicon Issue created by charlietsai Describe the bug On a clean install of macOS Ventura 13.6.2, either download

./scie-pants-macos-aarch64

or install via

get-pants.sh

, then running

./scie-pants-macos-aarch64

or

It looks like

xz

is a required dependency but it's not mentioned. Installing via

brew

resolves this:

/opt/homebrew/bin/brew install xz

Given

scie-pants

is supposed to be standalone, I would have expected to be able to use it directly without having to install something else.

brew

doesn't seem like a hard requirement? It looks like most people don't encounter this issue because

xz

is pulled in by other packages often installed via

brew
