Steps to reproduce:

Install required version of Zig

cd /tmp
curl -LO https://pkg.machengine.org/zig/zig-macos-aarch64-0.14.0-dev.2577+271452d22.tar.xz
tar -xf zig-macos-aarch64-0.14.0-dev.2577+271452d22.tar.xz
sudo mv zig-macos-aarch64-0.14.0-dev.2577+271452d22 /usr/local/zig-mach

Then add to your shell config (~/.zshrc):
export PATH="/usr/local/zig-mach:$PATH"

Reload shell and verify:

source ~/.zshrc
zig version

Shows 0.14.0-dev.2577+271452d22

Set up project:

mkdir testproject
cd testproject
zig init
zig fetch --save https://pkg.machengine.org/mach/cfd9fc8ff0452f855bf5a8a7e53b611cae630254.tar.gz

Replace build.zig with Getting Started file:

const std = @import("std");

pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
    const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
    const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});

    // Create our Mach app module, where all our code lives.
    const app_mod = b.createModule(.{
        .root_source_file = b.path("src/App.zig"),
        .optimize = optimize,
        .target = target,
    });

    // Add Mach import to our app.
    const mach_dep = b.dependency("mach", .{
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });
    app_mod.addImport("mach", mach_dep.module("mach"));

    // Have Mach create the executable for us
    const exe = @import("mach").addExecutable(mach_dep.builder, .{
        .name = "hello-world",
        .app = app_mod,
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });
    b.installArtifact(exe);

    // Run the app when `zig build run` is invoked
    const run_cmd = b.addRunArtifact(exe);
    run_cmd.step.dependOn(b.getInstallStep());
    if (b.args) |args| {
        run_cmd.addArgs(args);
    }
    const run_step = b.step("run", "Run the app");
    run_step.dependOn(&run_cmd.step);

    // Run tests when `zig build test` is run
    const app_unit_tests = b.addTest(.{
        .root_module = app_mod,
    });
    const run_app_unit_tests = b.addRunArtifact(app_unit_tests);
    const test_step = b.step("test", "Run unit tests");
    test_step.dependOn(&run_app_unit_tests.step);
}

Build

zig build

Things work fine here. No errors

Expected output:

zig build run should have exit code 0 and run something.
