How can I silently upgrade macOS from intel (Rosetta) process?

Question

I have an app with admin privileges running on M1 with Rosetta and I'm trying to silently upgrade the macOS.

for example, I tried to run an upgrade command from Terminal running on Intel (Rosetta)

The command I run is:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --agreetolicense –nointeraction --forcequitapps

and I got the following error:

running in rosetta 2 is not supported

How can I make it work? or is there another way to silently install macOS patch from an Intel (Rosetta) process?

Answer 1

This can be done using arch, that way you can run from an intel process an apple command:

sudo arch -arm64 /Applications/Install\ macOS
Monterey.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --agreetolicense --forcequitapps --passprompt

Still the issue is that it can't be done silently since it needs password although I'm running with admin privileges
