I elected to build a to-do list, with flutter

I accepted the defaults for Data modeling

then

curl -sL https://aws-amplify.github.io/amplify-cli/install | bash && $SHELL

Describe the bug

curl... install... fails with:
Error: Amplify CLI failed to install...

Expected behavior

Successfully installed...

Reproduction steps

curl -sL https://aws-amplify.github.io/amplify-cli/install | bash && $SHELL
on a fresh MacOS Silicon installation

Log output

Additional information

This appears to be a side effect / consequence of what was discussed in #10193

As mentioned in #10193 (comment) a workaround / solution is:
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

Rosetta will not be present on a fresh MacOS install, which may be representative of the less technical audience Amplify appears to want to cater to.

I've logged this as a new issue, as I'm reporting the fact this breaks the minimum viable setup experience in Amplify Studio, and thus may discourage people from exploring further.

Before submitting, please confirm:

• I have done my best to include a minimal, self-contained set of instructions for consistently reproducing the issue.
• I have removed any sensitive information from my code snippets and submission.

Hey @thatdogmachine 👋 thanks for raising this! As you have noted this is a known issue, and you will need to install Rosetta for Amplify CLI

softwareupdate --install-rosetta
