Koji does not work on M1 MacBook Pro with macOS v12.3 (21E230) about koji HOT 3 CLOSED

Missed possibly an important detail when reporting this bug.
This failure is observed on an M1 Macbook Pro. So updated the title accordingly.

For any fellow Mac users on the same boat, the following workaround makes Koji work on an M1 based macOS:

1. You would need a copy of OpenSSL 3 in x86_64 architecture. One of the ways to get this is via Homebrew. Note that Homebrew installs ARM64 version of OpenSSL. To force Homebrew to install an x86_64 version, I followed this guide: https://medium.com/mkdir-awesome/how-to-install-x86-64-homebrew-packages-on-apple-m1-macbook-54ba295230f

2. Assuming you followed above guide, you may get x86_64 version of OpenSSL using the following command: axbrew install openssl@3

3. Above step would install OpenSSL in the following path: /usr/local/homebrew/Cellar/openssl@3

4. Koji expects OpenSSL to be in the path /usr/local/opt/openssl@3/lib/libssl.3.dylib. Hence use ln command to create an alias: sudo ln -s /usr/local/homebrew/Cellar/openssl@3/3.0.2 /usr/local/opt/openssl@3

5. Run Koji in your terminal. 🎉

Another takeaway is probably that the macOS binary of Koji is x86_64. I could confirm using the file command:

❯ file ~/.local/bin/Koji
~/.local/bin/Koji: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

Offering Koji binary in arm64 architecture might simplify the steps required to install OpenSSL or solve this issue altogether.

@Kiran-B Sorry for super late response, been busy switching jobs and all that. Much appreciated documenting all this.

For now, I'm just going to put a link in the README to your comment on getting x86_64 OpenSSL installed. At some point I'll try and get this working, but as it is I have no real way to test any of it and it seems like getting it to build for arm64 is not that easy (or, at least, is beyond me).
