Apple's Rosetta 2 software allows applications built for x86-64 hosts to run on machines using their ARM 64-bit M1 processor. Due to current infrastructure challenges (e.g., lack of GitHub-hosted GitHub Actions runners), Arduino's applications may not yet be available as native M1 builds, yet the existing macOS x86-64 builds work perfectly well on these machines thanks to Rosetta 2. The installation script previously failed to install these applications when ran on the M1 host: Did not find a release for your system: macOS arm64

The installation script previously failed to install these applications when ran on the M1 host (#207):
In order to facilitate review, I'll attach a copy of the version of the "template" script from this PR which has been configured to install Arduino CLI:
