  • I have a mac processor 1.1 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i3 and macOS Catalina
  • I install ngrok AMD64 from the website https://ngrok.com/download
  • I keep getting the error: zsh: bad CPU type in executable: ngrok

Existing answers do not help, any advice?

  • What answers? If you check the binary with file, what is returned? – Marc Wilson May 24 '23 at 02:18
  • You also say “you install..from the website”. Can we assume you downloaded the binary? Or, did you follow the Homebrew instructions? Are you certain AMD64 was downloaded and not ARM64? – Allan May 24 '23 at 02:33
  • I downloaded the AMD64 binary from the website. I tried at some point with homebrew and that didn't work either.

    file ngrok returns: ngrok: MacOS Alias file. By existing answers I meant: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/408375/zsh-bad-cpu-type-in-executable - I don't think this fits my case.

  • First, find out what location it's trying to run ngrok from with type -a ngrok. That should print one or more lines like "ngrok is /some/path/to/ngrok". For each one it prints, try file /some/path/to/ngrok (using the paths that type printed), and see what that says. If there's a correct one in your path, it'll be listed as "/some/path/to/ngrok: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64" If that doesn't tell you what you need to know, edit the results of all those commands into your question (in code block format, so it displays accurately). – Gordon Davisson May 24 '23 at 04:46
  • Thank you. Deleted the binary, tried following the homebrew instructions and it worked. – siams May 29 '23 at 22:40
