Jesse (Nov 19 2025 at 17:17): Jesse (Nov 19 2025 at 17:17):Hi, I just started playing with Roc. Seems interesting, I love the goals. I'm able to run the hello-world in docker on the roclang/nightly-ubuntu-latest image, but when attempting to run directly on my machine I get the following error.
error: Failed to resolve platform spec 'https://github.com/roc-lang/basic-cli/releases/download/0.20.0/X73hGh05nNTkDHU06FHC0YfFaQB1pimX7gncRcao5mU.tar.br': error.PlatformNotSupported
Is this expected? I'm on a 2019 Macbook Pro, Intel chip, macos Sequoi 15.7.2
I followed the installation instructions here https://www.roc-lang.org/install/macos_x86_64
Anton (Nov 19 2025 at 18:12):Hmm, that's unexpected, that release was tested on an Intel Mac. I'll try to reproduce on my Intel Mac.
Anton (Nov 19 2025 at 18:13):Can you share the exact command you used?
Anton (Nov 19 2025 at 18:22):I'll try to reproduce on my Intel Mac.
Yeah, roc main.roc still works for me using the hello world like on the install page. Can you try again in a fresh terminal?
Anton (Nov 19 2025 at 18:28):Did you modify the hello world file?
Jesse (Nov 19 2025 at 18:52):Yeah,

just tried again. I had actually built from source as opposed to working from the alpha release. Updated to use the latests release as documented and everything is working. Sorry for the false alarm.
And thanks for the help :)
