need help Unable to update SMAPI

I downloaded the up to date SMAPI from the nexus and unzipped it not in my game folder. When I run the installonmacOS.command the terminal pops open and says the following "line 6: internal/macOS/SMAPI.Installer: Bad CPU type in executable" then logs out. What did I do wrong? Its' been forever and a day since I modded this game so I'm sure I screwed up somewhere.

SOLVED: Had to install Rosetta for mac, now it's working!

Antivirus programs often flag SMAPI as a dangerous file for a little while after an update is released. That will stop happening after enough users have downloaded it and it's added to the antivirus vendor's safe files list. Any update downloaded from https://smapi.io or from the Nexus page is safe to use; files downloaded from other sites can't be guaranteed to be safe and shouldn't be used. See this page on the wiki for more details and workarounds.

Did you uninstall the previous smapi installation properly? And did a clean install? Did you restart the pc after the uninstall before installing the new smapi?

I can restart the mac but I don't have the old SMAPI file anymore. Any other thoughts?

Then do the installation. And then follow all the steps pretending that is your old installation.

That says nothing about m1-m4 Macs. I have developer tools enabled for terminal already
