Hi there, I'm new to modulus and would like to use it to run some tests on my Mac, but ran into errors when installing it, RuntimeError: Didn't find wheel for nvidia-dali-cuda120 1.46.0. I went to install coda for Mac but found this page: https://developer.nvidia.com/tools-downloads#?dn=cuda-toolkit-developer-tools-for-macos-11-7-0, saying it's not supported anymore.

Could anyone help me understand if it's going to be possible to run modulus on Mac? If so, any instructions would be appreciated. If not, I'll try to find other platforms. Thanks!

the modulus was based on nvidia-gpu(cuda) in the RuntimeError describe, and the Mac(like macmini\macbook) only in arm(M1/Mx) and intel, only some special type mac can link on nvidia gpu by pcie card, so it cannot work in mac by modulus because of the hardware and software

We have removed the Dali dependency from the required dependencies, and moved it to optional. Can you please test the latest wheels for PhysicsNeMo?
