Install Rosetta 2 from Command Line

Rosetta 2 is the "invisible" system software which allows Apple's new Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, etc) based Macs to run Intel software. It should be installed by default, but sometimes it isn't for some reason. If you can't run older Intel programs this is probably why. Install it from the terminal using this command:

softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
