Hi there!

I’m completely new to running an Algorand node. After following the steps over at [Install a node - Algorand Developer Portal](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/run-a-node/setup/install/#installing-on-a-mac), I understand my chip platform (M1) isn’t supported yet.

Is there a roadmap or backlog I can check to see if/when the platform will be supported?

Thank you so much for any pointers!

Alexis

## Installation/Update output for reference

```auto
$ node ./update.sh -i -c stable -p ~/node -d ~/node/data -n

Current Version = 0
This platform arm64 is not supported by updater.

```
