+If you are an a newer Mac using an Apple Silicon chip (M1, M2, ...) then you will need to make sure that you can build and target `linux/amd64`. The easiest way
+is to use [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) and then to install the emulators. 
+```
+docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install all
+```
