Expected behavior The crowdin CLI binary to successfully install the JRE runtime for Apple M1 computers and then be successfully able to be used.

Environment:

OS: macOS
Version 12.1 (21C52)

Screenshots N/A

Additional context It appears that the CLI uses jdeploy to install the appropriate JRE runtime. I’ve sent a patch to jdeploy to handle this architecture: https://github.com/shannah/jdeploy/pull/21, however it appears that crowdin currently uses an old version of jdeploy so I’m not sure how easy it is to upgrade to the current one (or a fork with this patch applied)
