Hardware Virtualization Disabled Error on MacBook Pro M3 Pro

Description

I’m trying to install PurpleLab on my MacBook Pro with an M3 Pro chip, but I keep getting a “hardware virtualization is disabled” error across multiple setups. I’ve tried several workarounds, but none have resolved it.

Steps to Reproduce

1- Attempted to download and run PurpleLab directly via Terminal on macOS Sequoia 15.3.1
2- Tried installing it through VMware Fusion (latest version) with the Kali.
3- Set up an Ubuntu Server VM in VMware Fusion and ran PurpleLab inside it.
4- In all cases, I get the error: “Hardware virtualization is disabled.”

-I checked sysctl kern.hv_support in Terminal, and it returns kern.hv_support: 1, indicating virtualization is supported by the hardware.
-I’ve tried enabling virtualization settings in VMware Fusion (e.g., “Enable hypervisor applications in this virtual machine”), but the error persists.
-VirtualBox isn’t fully compatible with Apple Silicon, so I suspect compatibility issues, but VMware Fusion should work.
-I’ve adjusted macOS security settings (e.g., reduced Gatekeeper restrictions) with no success.

I don't really have knowledge on Mac os environments, especially for hardware Virtualization, but if you put the correct setting for it, you can remove or comment all the code on the "check_virtualization" fonction (start on ligne 29 to ligne 37) on the installation script.

But in any case, this solution aims to be installed on a Debian based installation
