M1 Mac Install error

[MKCarter]

Hi,

I have followed the conda install instructions for xtb

conda install xtb-python

However when I try to import from xtb I get this error:

from xtb.interface import Calculator from xtb.utils import get_method import numpy as np

`

ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)

     31 try:
---> 32     from ._libxtb import ffi, lib
     33 except ImportError:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xtb._libxtb'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

ImportError: xtb C extension unimportable, cannot use C-API`

Do you know of any solution to this error? I have tried specific conda xtb version, but they all appear to lead to this error.

Thanks, Mike
