Hello everyone,
dfxvm 1.0.1 has been released - Release 1.0.1 - 2025-07-02 · dfinity/dfxvm · GitHub
This is the version that supports installing the darwin/arm64 version of dfx.
You can update it by running:
dfxvm self update
Also - dfx 0.28.0-beta.2 is available for manual installation and testing.
dfxvm install 0.28.0-beta.2
see also release notes: Release 0.28.0-beta.2 · dfinity/sdk · GitHub
Assuming you’ve upgraded dfxvm before installing the beta release of dfx, you can check if you’re using the native apple silicon version of dfx by running:
###
###
### *After* running `dfx start` at least once ###
###
###
file "$(dfx cache show)/dfx"
You should see output like this:
❯ file "$(dfx cache show)/dfx"
/Users/raymond/.cache/dfinity/versions/0.28.0-beta.1/dfx: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64
The last part will say arm64 for apple silicon or x86_64 for intel.
