Use an Apple Chip Device Your Mac device must be equipped with an Apple chip. Do the following steps to check * On your Mac, click the Apple icon in the top-left corner of the menu bar.

* Select the \[About This Mac] option.

* If you see Apple M1(or higher) in the \[Chip] section, it means you’re using a Mac with an Apple Silicon CPU. And you can check your MacOS also.

#### 2. Download the Correct Docker Version for Apple Chip

#### 3. Update to the Latest macOS Sonoma Version Make sure your macOS Sonoma version is up to date, preferably version 14.4 or later. Do the following steps to check (and update) * Access Setting App then click "General"

* Click "Software Update" to check

#### 4. Install Rosetta (Not necessary for M3 +) To check if Rosetta is installed, follow these steps: * Open Terminal: You can open Terminal from the Applications folder or use Spotlight Search (Press Command + Space and type "Terminal"). * Check Rosetta Version: Enter the following command and press Enter: ```bash /usr/sbin/sysctl sysctl.proc_translated ``` If you receive the output `sysctl.proc_translated: 1`, it means that Rosetta is installed and active on your system. If not, you will either not see any output or the output will be `sysctl.proc_translated: 0`.

* If Rosetta is not installed, you can install it by running the following command in Terminal: ```css softwareupdate --install-rosetta ```
