Installation Issues with M1

[ghost]

PyQt5 Installation on an M1 Mac does not seem to work properly. Not sure if you have any advice here, but I can't get pip3 install -r requirements.txt to complete without an error and the following output:

Requirement already satisfied: python-rtmidi in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/lib/python3.12/site-packages (from -r requirements.txt (line 1)) (1.5.6)

Hi, sorry I don’t have a M1 Mac to help you troubleshoot this issue. I found a message from the PyQt mailing list, which suggests PyQt5 is not available for M1 Macs?

Thank you for the quick reply. I've installed PyQt5 via brew without error, but still seem to be getting the above output when running pip3 install -r requirements.txt

UPDATE: I was able to get everything install and have the requirments all satisifed, but it seems this won't run on an ARM chip. Closing issue, but will keep an eye out in case you get this to work with that architecture.
