In case if you are using Mac M1 or above you need to run Linux VM to build Memgraph.
We recommend to use Lima VM.
brew install lima
Currently, we support Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 for ARM CPU architecture.
Run start command and choose Open an editor to review or modify the current configuration:
$ limactl start
? Creating an instance "default" [Use arrows to move, type to filter]
> Proceed with the current configuration
Open an editor to review or modify the current configuration
Choose another example (docker, podman, archlinux, fedora, ...)
Exit
In opened editor fix following statements:
...
arch: aarch64

aarch64: host
<aside> ⁉️ NOTE: Mounted paths are slower to write.
Please be sure that memgraph repo is on a local Linux filesystem, not in the directory mounted from host. Lima uses sshfs to mount directories. It’s extremely slow and VM could hang during Memgraph build because of lots IO operations.
</aside>
Save the configuration and exit.
Lima will continue deploying Linux VM.
limactl shell default
If Lima asks you about restarting services (the purple screen), just choose OK.
