"Bad CPU type in executable" ? #622
Description
Hi
I finally got it installed but running a basic indexing gives the following error on a Intel Mac:
Loaded configuration from: /Users/vc1/repo/.env, mcp.json (highest priority: mcp.json)
Using database: FalkorDB
Initializing services and database connection...

Hey @pimpmypixel , can you please install neo4j using
cgc neo4j setupand change the DEFAULT_DATABASE=neo4j across all json and env. Uptil then, I will try sorting this out. I don't have an intel Mac so perhaps it can have some issues that needs debuggingShashankss1205 commentedon Oct 15, 2026
Maintenance review — 15 October 2026
This report concerns an Intel Mac native executable mismatch. Merged #1737 improves Ladybug native availability detection, but does not prove the original Falkor executable issue resolved; a current Intel macOS reproduction is still needed.
