Just ran into this too. It looks like this is because you're on an M1 (Macbook Pro). The file referenced in there error is here https://github.com/tidbyt/homebrew-tidbyt/blob/main/pixlet.rb and it only has definitions/releases for Intel/X86, not ARM.

There are currently no ARM builds, so looks like we'd have to build from source

Also see here https://github.com/tidbyt/pixlet/issues/39#issuecomment-900727783

Came here for this ... guess I'll try building from source and let y'all know how that turns out.

[joelhaasnoot]

I was able to get it working. There isn't a straightforward "install" command but it builds/runs fine.

[jazzdan]

Yup building and installing works just fine, thank you Go! :)

[davidgs]

How did you solve the go-libwebp issue? I built and installed that from source, but the build for pixlet still wants to use the default.

[joelhaasnoot]

Make sure you run the following steps in the same terminal as when you run make

export CPATH=/opt/homebrew/include
 export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib

Hi folks! I'm going to close this issue in favor of #38. As a short term workaround, check out this comment on how to build locally: https://github.com/tidbyt/pixlet/issues/39#issuecomment-900727783

We should have #38 closed out sometime next week.
