@radhikapc you mentioned xhyve but we are using vfkit at the moment, is it typo or you have some different kind of setup?

Also you didn't mention sw_vers , and is it an intel mac or silicon (M1/M2/M3) one?

Did you check this file permissions/.. ? ls -al /usr/local/bin/crc I'd try to remove it by hand sudo rm /usr/local/bin/crc

So an Apple Silicon machine
