Bug Description

Hello, I am having an issue installing RMG following the developer install instructions

['/Users/ayushmaantripathi/miniforge3/envs/rmg_env/bin/python', '-m', 'pip', 'install', '-U', '-r', '/Users/ayushmaantripathi/RMG-Py/condaenv.qx4fndti.requirements.txt', '--exists-action=b']                                                                                                    
Pip subprocess output:

I was trying to help ash with the install, and as a minimum working example, I tried this: 

conda create -n test
conda activate test
conda config --env --set subdir osx-64

then, I tried entering the python REPL by typing python. it gave the bad cpu error as well.

Are you using zsh? I ask because of this SO thread.

Also ensure that you have Rosetta installed, see here.

Likely didn't have Rosetta. @tripash30 please update the instructions, perhaps at https://github.com/ReactionMechanismGenerator/RMG-Py/blob/main/documentation/source/users/rmg/installation/anacondaDeveloper.rst (maybe there are other spots). See https://support.apple.com/en-us/102527 and try softwareupdate --install-rosetta

ChrisBNEU commented 1 month ago

So it is sort of an edge case, but it is something that could easily happen if someone has a new Mx chip laptop, so I think we should update the instructions. His PC is very new, so there were no apps that required rosetta, thus it was never installed. xcode tools didn't prompt to install it either.
