macOS PySide2 error for QT installation

[Fonta1n3]

When running ./install.sh and selecting y for installing the GUI I always get:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PySide2!=5.15.0,!=5.15.1,!=5.15.2,!=6.0 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for PySide2!=5.15.0,!=5.15.1,!=5.15.2,!=6.0

Even if I run brew install pyside@2.

I am on Big Sur m1 macOS.

M1 support for PySide is on the way https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python_Development_Notes. However this will be for PySide6 not PySide2. A temporary fix would be to the open the terminal in Rosetta mode. You can do this from Application directory, going to info for terminal app and choosing the option "Open in Rosetta". This will force pip to download the general wheel file for PySide2.

Now you can proceed with installing PySide2 via pip using:

pip install PySide2

@TomAmpiath my intel machine died so I am trying to get jm running on my m1 again. I did what you suggested but am now getting:

ImportError: Cannot load secp256k1 library: dlopen(/Users/fontaine/joinmarket-clientserver/jmvenv/lib/libsecp256k1.dylib, 6): no suitable image found.  Did find:
	/Users/fontaine/joinmarket-clientserver/jmvenv/lib/libsecp256k1.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture

@TomAmpiath @Fonta1n3 did you guys solve this? I currently don't know if Qt is installable on Mac on latest version (0.9.7).

Tried running tests with the GitHub Actions new M1 macOS runner and have the same error:
