Running on MacOS Apple Silicon requires the user to install CBC using home brew. If you follow the instructions provided in the installation guide (i.e. use mamba to install dependencies), it picks the version of CBC that is not compatible with Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) processors.
Suggested Update
4.2. Install CBC
CBC is open-source and will be installed with the environment. To check that it installed correctly, run the command cbc in the command line. The following message will display indicating that CBC has installed.

MacOS Troubleshooting
For running on MacOS (with Apple Silicon), you should use home brew to install CBC. This typically takes care of any linking errors where CBC can't find the right libraries. If you continue to run into errors around dynamic linking, make sure you have the lapack and libblas libraries installed in your mamba environment.
If you see your jobs fail due to libtiff errors, you might also need to create a symbolic link between the libtiff library version 5 and version 6, since the environment specifically looks for version 5.
cd $CONDA_PREFIX/lib
ln -s libtiff.6.dylib libtiff.5.dylib
Additional Info
Ran into these errors on Oct 7th, 2024 while trying to set up OG on my Macbook running Sonoma (14.6.1), with the M3 processor.
The libtiff error can probably be resolved by updating the packing using libtiff, but I don't know enough about how the model is being set up to figure out what is calling it/why it specifically needs version 5.
