  1. Goto https://zellij.dev/
  2. Click on the "macOS download" button (can't right click to copy URL, or see filename, which is a separate issue)
  3. Get file zellij-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  4. Realize this is for Apple's Intel CPU machines only, not Apple ARM silicon like the M1, M2, M3 or now M4 chips.
  5. 😢

Page source seems to be https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij-org.github.io/blob/main/themes/hello-friend-ng/layouts/index.html

The same is true for the "Linux download" button, which appears to link to zellij-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Possible solutions:

  • Release universal macOS builds covering Intel and ARM (out of scope for the website)
  • Edit the button captions, e.g. "macOS Intel download" or "macOS download (x64)" or similar.

Or since I see https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/releases has ARM releases after all:

  • Add separate buttons for the x86 vs ARM downloads (so four buttons, not just two)
  • Or can the webpage detect the CPU type and link accordingly?
