miniforge m1 mac UnsatisfiableError with mintpy package

[TonySl]

Hi, thanks for developing this very useful package. I use miniforge on m1 mac Monterey 12.6. When I install the mintpy package, I got an error

Full script that generated the error

conda create -n sbas141 python=3.8
conda activate sbas141
conda install -c conda-forge mintpy gdal

Full error message

@TonySl I see you have python 3.8 specified, but the conda install is looking at python 3.9. Can you try specifying python 3.9?

Also, support for the M1 mac is still a work in progress so you may want to try the Rosetta x86 emulation and install it in an x86 environment:

Thanks! Changing to python 3.9 gave the same error but x86 emulation works!

Thanks to @scottstanie, pysolid is now available on conda-forge/osx-arm64 for Apple Silicon chips (https://github.com/insarlab/PySolid/issues/61), thus we could conda install mintpy on Mac M1 & M2 ARM chips as well. Cheers!
