When you try to run any cf repo command, it fails with an error similar to the following:

~ % cf repo upgrade-plan
The current machine does not support all of the following CPU features that are required by the image: [CX8, CMOV, FXSR, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4_1, SSE4_2, POPCNT, LZCNT, AVX, AVX2, BMI1, BMI2, FMA, F16C].
Please rebuild the executable with an appropriate setting of the -march option.exit status 1

Environment

Tanzu Cloud Foundry CLI

Cause

A repo plugin for a different CPU architecture was installed. For example, the darwin-amd64 repo plugin was installed on an arm64 machine

Resolution

Reinstall the plugin for the correct CPU architecture

1. Download the VMware Tanzu Cloud Foundry CLI bundle from the Support Portal
2. Uninstall the repo plugin: cf uninstall-plugin repo
3. Install the correct plugin. This example is for an Apple M-series machine: 

   • ~ % cf install-plugin Downloads/cf-cli-10.4.4+bundle-1.2.11/plugins/repo/v1.6.4/tanzu-repo-darwin_arm64
