Hi folks,
Installing and launching livebook-0.19.2 on Intel Mac triggers the error below.
/Applications/Livebook.app/Contents/Resources/rel/vendor/livebook-0.19.2/otp/erts-16.1.1/
bin/erlexec:
Bad CPU type in executable
A quick check on the executable returns below

Sound like you installed a wrong CPU architecture image. Try to download Mac (x64) image and check again.

These are the options available on the site and my previous message confirms the downloaded package name.
@josevalim, so sorry to bother you, but the download seems to be pointing to the wrong package.

Thank you for taking the time to report it. I reproduced this and fixed it on main. There’s a new nightly you can try:

In the future please feel free to report bugs directly to livebook issue tracker!
