# Source: https://github.com/jina-ai/jina/blob/master/docs/get-started/install/apple-silicon-m1-m2.md# On Apple SiliconIf you own a macOS device with an Apple Silicon M1/M2 chip, you can run Jina-serve **natively** on it (instead of running under Rosetta) and enjoy up to 10x faster performance. This chapter summarizes how to install Jina-serve.## Check terminal and deviceTo ensure you are using the right terminal, run:```bashuname -m```It should return:```textarm64```## Install Homebrew`brew` is a package manager for macOS. If you have already installed it, you need to confirm it is actually installed for Apple Silicon not for Rosetta. To check that, run:```bashwhich brew``````text/opt/homebrew/bin/brew```If it's installed under `/usr/local/` instead of `/opt/homebrew/`, it means your `brew` is installed for Rosetta not for Apple Silicon. You need to [reinstall it](https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/410829).```{danger}Reinstalling `brew` can be a destructive operation. Ensure you have backed up your data before proceeding.```To (re)install brew, run:```bash/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"```You can observe the output to check if it contains `/opt/homebrew` to ensure you are installing for Apple Silicon.## Install PythonPython also has to be installed for Apple Silicon. It is possible it is installed for Rosetta, and you are not aware of that. To confirm, run:```pythonimport platformplatform.machine()```This should output:```text'arm64'```If not, then you are using Python under Rosetta, and you need to install Python for Apple Silicon with `brew`:```bashbrew install python3```As of August 2022, this will install Python 3.10 natively for Apple Silicon.Ensure you note down where `python` and `pip` are installed. In this example, they are installed to `/opt/homebrew/bin/python3` and `/opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.10/libexec/bin/pip` respectively.## Install dependencies wheelsThere are some core dependencies that Jina-serve needs to run, whose wheels are not available on PyPI but fortunately are available as wheels. To install them, run:```bashbrew install protobuf numpy```## Install Jina-serveNow we can install Jina-serve via `pip`. Ensure you use the correct `pip`:```bash/opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.10/libexec/bin/pip install jina````grpcio` requires building the wheels, it will take some time.Note: If the previous step fails, adding the environment variables below might solve the problem:```bashexport GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_OPENSSL=1export GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_ZLIB=1```After all the dependencies are installed, you can run Jina-serve CLI and check the system information.```bashjina -vf``````{code-block} text---emphasize-lines: 13-15---- jina 3.7.14- docarray 0.15.4- jcloud 0.0.35- jina-hubble-sdk 0.16.1- jina-proto 0.1.13- protobuf 3.20.1- proto-backend python- grpcio 1.47.0- pyyaml 6.0- python 3.10.6- platform Darwin- platform-release 21.6.0- platform-version Darwin Kernel Version 21.6.0: Sat Jun 18 17:07:28 PDT 2022; root:xnu-8020.140.41~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T8110- architecture arm64- processor arm- uid 94731629138370- session-id 49497356-254e-11ed-9624-56286d1a91c2- uptime 2022-08-26T16:49:28.279723- ci-vendor (unset)* JINA_DEFAULT_HOST (unset)* JINA_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_CTRL (unset)* JINA_DEPLOYMENT_NAME (unset)* JINA_DISABLE_UVLOOP (unset)* JINA_EARLY_STOP (unset)* JINA_FULL_CLI (unset)* JINA_GATEWAY_IMAGE (unset)* JINA_GRPC_RECV_BYTES (unset)* JINA_GRPC_SEND_BYTES (unset)* JINA_HUB_NO_IMAGE_REBUILD (unset)* JINA_LOG_CONFIG (unset)* JINA_LOG_LEVEL (unset)* JINA_LOG_NO_COLOR (unset)* JINA_MP_START_METHOD (unset)* JINA_OPTOUT_TELEMETRY (unset)* JINA_RANDOM_PORT_MAX (unset)* JINA_RANDOM_PORT_MIN (unset)```Congratulations!
