./install-common.sh: line 20: ./serial-macos-latest/serial: Bad CPU type in executable

Running ./install-mac.sh on a 2019 Macbook Pro (2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7) I get the following error:

% ./install-mac.sh
Using adb at ./platform-tools/adb
Force a switch into the debug mode to enable ADB
./install-common.sh: line 20: ./serial-macos-latest/serial: Bad CPU type in executable

The tool 'serial-macos-latest' in the release.tar is a binary compiled for 'apple silicon' / arm.
To compile it yourself for your x86/amd64 macbook :

• install rust following https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
• install git
• in shell do something similar to this:

> git clone https://github.com/EFForg/rayhunter
> cd rayhunter/serial
> cargo build --release
> cp ../target/release/serial /location/of/your/releasebinaries/serial-macos-latest/serial

Effectively replacing the 'wrong' binary.
Of course you could compile the whole rayhunter project yourself, but this requires gcc installed and other dependencies.
