Mac m1 installation info

[diablozzq]

Hello - I can’t seem to find any information on the proper dependencies and installation for Mac M1 with GPU support.

Docker didn’t have an arm image, and I tried setting up the dev environment, but couldn’t get it working. If I had a guide specific to Mac and what dependencies to install, I think I could get it working.

all I need is short, to the point steps. I’m pretty confident I’m close.

Thanks for all your work on this.

I installed python 3.9 and 3.8 via Brew. And installed the Mac Arm dot net 6.0 SDK. Built the dev environment and opened VSCode, but was unable to get the server to launch. Rather than debug my end, just knowing if I should use Dot net x64 or arm or docker x64 or whatever would help a ton.

All of this is taken care of for you.

After cloning the repo, just go to /Installers/Dev and type bash setup.sh. This will setup the python interpreters, create the virtual environments, install the python packages, and download the models. All you have to do is compile and run.

Is it possible to get a docker image made for Mac silicon? I strongly prefer not installing via script that installs things in all kinds of places. I have specific requirements for versions of things currently because of what I'm working on. I don't want to mess that up.

@arudnitsky Yes, absolutely. I played around a little tonight but no easy wins, so this may have to wait a few days

Thanks, @ChrisMaunder! I appreciate the quick response.

@ChrisMaunder Have you had a chance to get this set up?

[ChrisMaunder]

My Apologies! This was actually done a few weeks back:

Here you go: docker pull codeproject/ai-server:arm64-1.6.8.0

Very much appreciated, @ChrisMaunder
