			With the latest releases of Ruby4Lich5 installer, you can now follow the normal Windows installation for both Intel and Apple silicon based Apple computers.
	'''The following only pertains to Apple Silicon based Macs. If you have an Intel based Mac, you can use the normal Windows installation procedures instead.'''

	To install Wrayth/WizardFE, Lich, and Ruby via Parallels you will need to do a few various steps as outlined below. Please note, the rubyw file in C:\Ruby4Lich5\X.X.X\bin may be set to run in compatibility mode for windows 7. On an ARM Mac running parallels, this causes Wrayth scripts not to run. Turning compatibility mode off in the rubyw file ~~fixes~~ this issue if it was enabled.
