I’ll introduce how to install asdf on M1 macOS.

asdf

Prerequisites

  • CPU: M1
  • OS: macOS Monterey 12.5.1
  • Shell: zsh

Downloading asdf

Following the official documentation Getting Started | asdf, we’ll proceed with downloading and installing asdf.

brew install asdf

Installing asdf.sh

Add asdf.sh to .zshrc using one of the following methods:

Execute one-liner command with `echo -e`

echo -e "n. $(brew --prefix asdf)/libexec/asdf.sh" >> ~/.zshrc

Edit `.zshrc` directly

Following the message displayed at the end of brew install asdf:

To use asdf, add the following line to your ~/.zshrc:
  . /opt/homebrew/opt/asdf/libexec/asdf.sh

Add the following to ~/.zshrc:

. /opt/homebrew/opt/asdf/libexec/asdf.sh

That’s all from the Gemba, where I installed asdf on M1 macOS.
