Issues installing on M1 Mac

[anaklim]

Please let me know if this has been already discussed before - I've tried finding any information and failed.
I have attempted to install Elliot according to the instructions in the docs:

git clone https://github.com//sisinflab/elliot.git && cd elliot
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/pyhton3.6 venv # your python location and version
source venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e . --verbose

I am using a MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chip, 12.0.1 Monterey OS, Python version 3.9 installed with Homebrew.
It looks like there is some issue with Cython and some installation quirk, but I really don't know how to approach solving this. Please let me know if anyone else had such an issue previously.

When I run the last pip install command I get the following terminal output:

Using pip 22.0.4 from /Users/anastasiia/Desktop/elliot/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)

Hi anaklim, I had the same issue. I think it is related to the python libraries compatible with TensorFlow for Apple M1.

I suggest you:

• to install your virtual environment with tensorflow-macos and tensorflow-metal ( I followed this guide -> https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/ )
• once you have activated your environment, to upgrade pip (pip install -U pip) and install the following libraries (pip install xxx)
  hyperopt
  scipy
  pandas
  PyYAML
  scikit_learn
  numpy
  tqdm
  Pillow
  ( note that there is no specification related to the library version)

Now that all the dependencies have been installed, Elliot will work. (if Elliot requires libraries not listed here, please also install them)
