Issues getting environment properly installed on M1 Mac

[davidcolton]

Any help you'd be able to offer to get the development environment setup and working on an M1 Mac would be greatly appreciated.

The log of the conda command is attached.

Thanks.

These dependency errors are notoriously hard to figure out. One way to try and resolve is to unpin versions in the conda file one by one.

for instance: Try changing statsforecast==0.6.0 to statsforecast>=0.6.0 and python-kaleido==0.1.0 to python-kaleido>=0.1.0

And if that's also not working, - u8darts<=0.19.0 to - u8darts==0.19.0 or - u8darts>=0.19.0

While this can resolve the conda dependency issues, there is a small risk that some code may not work.

I have followed the instructions for statsforecast and python-kaleido. Seems to work, but then:

fancyimpute also does not install:

I dug further into this, by trying to install al sorts of packages with brew (cmake, llvm, suite-sparse), but to no avail.

I got exactly the same error

@koen-dejonghe I think you can safely skip fancyimpute. It is a problematic package. The other error, let me dig into and figure out.

[manujosephv]

As of 22.0, pip has made some changes which might be causing this issue. I've seen this for other libraries as well. Issue on packaging

So, this is the solution:

I have removed timesynth and fancyimpute from the anaconda env. That along with the changes to statsforecast and python-kaleido make it working in my M1 Pro. (I haven't checked in statsforecast and python-kaleido changes because it seems to be Mac specific. I'll probably add it to the Readme as well. The downside is that there is one notebook in chapter 1 which uses timesynth. You can try installing that separately and see if that works. Good news is that the rest of the environment works fine now.

Let me know if this works for you so that I can pin the issue and add it to readme.

With the new anaconda_env.yml , the conda environment installs without issues on my machine. Thank you very much.

Mac M2/M1 problem on runnin test_installation.py:
AssertionError: Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled

I did the version yml corrections for statsforecast>=0.6.0 and python-kaleido>=0.1.0 and u8darts>=0.19.0 mamba env create -f anaconda_env.yml

no fancyimpute, no timesynth
