@andrewyatesg thanks for opening an issue! we're working on a fix
Facing the same issue on macOS Catalina
I am facing this exact issue as well with macOS Catalina 10.15.
Facing the same issue , please advise
While we work on a fix for this (ETA undetermined), I would recommend using the docker-ized version of the Forest SDK. Get docker here https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop
With that installed, run the following commands in your terminal:
$ docker run -p 5555:5555 -d rigetti/quilc -S
$ docker run -p 5000:5000 -d rigetti/qvm -S
Within pyquil, you should then be able to run get_qc("8q-qvm")
etc. as normal.
The latest package (2.15.1) should work on Catalina: https://qcs.rigetti.com/sdk-downloads Unfortunately I have not fixed the security issue that macOS will complain about.
To circumvent that, you will need to Right click > Open
on the .pkg file.
Let me know if you need more help.
