+          #{@cask} is built for Intel macOS and so requires Rosetta 2 to be installed.
+          You can install Rosetta 2 with:
+            softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
+          Note that it is very difficult to remove Rosetta 2 once it is installed.

           You must log out and log back in for the installation of #{@cask} to take effect.
