ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

SUMMARY

pip install ansible-navigator fails on the M1 Mac. During the process, the installer tries to run pip install onigurumacffi, which results in the following error:

build/temp.macosx-10.14.6-arm64-3.8/_onigurumacffi.c:569:10: fatal error: 'oniguruma.h' file not found

Alternatively, I installed oniguruma with homebrew successfully, but running pip install ansible-navigator still results in the above error.

Certainly currently ansible-navigator installs and runs on the Apple M1 (macOS Monterey 12.0.1). Used fairly extensively (with docker due to missing features in macOS podman support) in python 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10 environments. Installed via pip

@tonykay Thanks for that :)

Did you have to do anything special to get the python dependency onigurumacffi installed? Or did it just get pulled down without issues when ansible-navigator was pip installed?

I am still waiting for my M1 to arrive but I will likely work on that once I will be affected by it.
