## Prerequisites

1. A Mac computer. Both Intel and M1/M2/M3 chips are supported.
1. An Intel-based Mac computer.

:::note
Vantage Express runs on x86 architecture. When you run the VM on M1/M2/M3 chips, UTM has to emulate x86. This is significantly slower then virtualization. If you determine that Vantage Express on M1/M2 is too slow for your needs, consider running Vantage Express in the cloud: [AWS](../on-your-cloud-infrastructure/run-vantage-express-on-aws.md), [Azure](../on-your-cloud-infrastructure/run-vantage-express-on-microsoft-azure.md), [Google Cloud](../on-your-cloud-infrastructure/vantage-express-gcp.md).
Vantage Express runs on x86 architecture and is only supported on Intel-based Macs. Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) is not supported. If you have an Apple Silicon Mac, consider running Vantage Express in the cloud: [AWS](../on-your-cloud-infrastructure/run-vantage-express-on-aws.md), [Azure](../on-your-cloud-infrastructure/run-vantage-express-on-microsoft-azure.md), [Google Cloud](../on-your-cloud-infrastructure/vantage-express-gcp.md).

Initial boot on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) via emulation can take 5-15 minutes. Do not force quit the VM.

In this guide we have covered how to quickly create a working Teradata Vantage environment on Apple Mac M1/M2/M3. We used Teradata Vantage Express in a VM running on UTM. We installed all software locally and didn't have to pay for cloud resources.
