🐛 Bug: Error while running pip install -e

[pravina5]

Describe the bug.

I completed the pre-requisite and cloned Ersilia from Github. I was trying to run 'pip install -e .' and got these errors. It seems like there is a build error while installing grpcio package.

I could see this build error when I scrolled up:

This error originates from a subprocess and is likely not a problem with pip.

ERROR: Failed building wheel for grpcio

Describe the steps to reproduce the behavior

• Create conda environment using conda create -n ersilia python=3.8
• Activate the environment using conda activate ersilia
• Clone the Ersilia Python Package from Github using git clone https://github.com/ersilia-os/ersilia.git cd ersilia
• Install with pip, pip install -e .

Expected behavior.

I Expect the pip command to run successfully. So that I can proceed with ersilia --help command.

Screenshots.

Operating environment

System Version: macOS 12.1 (M1 chip) , Kernel-Version: Darwin 21.2.0

Hello,

The issue is resolved after running some commands, referring to this issue https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/30064:

• First I confirmed if I had multiple python3 version or not using lipo -archs $(which python3) for me it was only arm64
• So I went directly for conda install grpcio
• After that ran pip install -e . which was successful and proceeded with the next commands.

I could complete the installation successfully. If there are multiple python3 version follow the issue https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/30064.
