Unable to install on Macs that use Apple M-series (ARM) chips

Open wigging opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Installing the pvapy package on an Apple MacBook Pro (M series, ARM) fails in a conda environment as shown below:

Channels:
 - defaults
 - epics
Platform: osx-arm64
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed
PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:
  - pvapy
Current channels:
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/osx-arm64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/osx-arm64
  - https://conda.anaconda.org/epics/osx-arm64
To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're
looking for, navigate to
    https://anaconda.org/
and use the search bar at the top of the page.

The same problem occurs when trying to install in a Python virtual environment using pip. It looks like the pvapy package is not installable on Macs that use the Apple M-series chips which are ARM processors.
