macOS ARM builds - AN 2.3 not working on Blender 4.2 LTS (numpy failed to import)

Blender 4.2 LTS ARM build macOS 14.2.1 ARM Animation Nodes 2.3 ARM

I installed animation nodes yesterday, it worked, and I was able to make one project.

One day later, I can open the project file in Blender, but animation nodes doesn't load. I have tried to reinstall animation nodes, and always have the "can't load numpy" errors every time even after deleting the animations_nodes folder in the addons directory in /User/Me/Library/etc...

Only solution I have working right now is for ARM macOS users to run Blender 2.93.18 LTS x86 and Animation Nodes 2.2-x86.

Blender is about to deprecate macOS-intel altogether. Please get your software working on Apple products.

Why are you even offering a 2.3-arm.zip on your website when I've read that 2.3 isn't supported on macOS-ARM?

Did you install numpy yourself? What is the output of print(numpy.__path__) if executed from the Blender console?

re: whether or not I installed numpy, I simply don't know what that means.

Initially, your print command returned:

>>> print(numpy.__path__)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<blender_console>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'numpy' is not defined

I have tinkered around some more:

I randomly decided to run import numpy, not sure why, and then try the print command you suggested, and now I have this output:

Can Python get me paid more than being an artist? Should I have learned to code instead of trying to express my soul?

>>> import numpy
>>> print(numpy.__path__)
['/Users/username-user/Library/Application Support/Blender/4.2/extensions/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/numpy']

>>>

I am getting this error on Blender 4.2.15 LTS on Linux

EDIT: Actually, my steam install was scrambled for some reason, it works fine now. I found this out after downloading a few versions and trying them.
