Issue installing flame on M1 chips

[lavelle96]

Hello,

I'm having trouble installing flame on my macbook with an M1 chip, encountering this issue

Is anyone else having this issue? If it's a known issue, any idea if there will be a fix?

Hi @lavelle96 ,

There is a workaround for it, as I also faced the same issue, because on their manifest it is limited to amd64 architecture. Setting the env vars KREW_OS and KREW_ARCH worked for me:

KREW_OS="darwin" KREW_ARCH="amd64" kubectl krew install flame

When i try to run kubectl flame ,it gives

kubectl flame
Error: bad CPU type in executable

How do i solve this?
