Get the following error, when trying to install using
brew install mactop

mactop: The arm64 architecture is required for this software.
Error: mactop: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

You need Apple Si.

Thanks for your response!
Is M2 processor on Apple Mac Mini not Apple Si?

M2 is supported and Apple Silicon, you maybe need to ensure you aren't running brew install mactop in a Rosetta terminal.

Ok, so it's not clear in the README that you need Golang installed even if you're using Homebrew. Docs need a step before brew install mactop
It worked post installing Golang.

You do not need Golang installed to install mactop via Homebrew. You only need Golang installed if you are directly compiling the repo with go build
