Support for `osx-arm64`? ("nothing provides requested xeus-octave")

[HarshitDoshi]

• xeus-octave version: 0.1.0
• Operating System: Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68)

Description

I am trying to install Xeus-Octave to run and learn Octave using the Jupyter UI since that is what I have come to be comfortable with, the most.

What I Did

I took the following steps to install Xeus-Octave up and running on my MacBook:

• Install Mamba
  • I have been using PyEnv for all my Python version management requirements and I installed Mamba using the following command:

    pyenv install mambaforge

  • The current Mamba version is as follows:

    ➜ mamba -V
    conda 23.1.0

• Try to install Xeus-Octave using the newly installed Mamba. For this, I initially tried to install the xeus-octave package inside an existing environment, which didn't work and I was seeing the following output from Mamba:

  
  ➜ mamba install -c conda-forge xeus-octave

Looking for: ['xeus-octave']

conda-forge/osx-arm64 No change conda-forge/noarch 11.4MB @ 3.9MB/s 3.2s

Pinned packages:

• python 3.11.*

Could not solve for environment specs Encountered problems while solving:

• nothing provides requested xeus-octave

The environment can't be solved, aborting the operation

    - After this, I tried to install `Xeus-Octave` in a fresh new environment as shown in the documentation but I am seeing the same output as above.

**Note**: I have tried these attempts numerous times several hours apart keeping in mind a slight suspicion that it might be a network issue or a CDN issue, but for each attempt, I am seeing the same output.

I believe this is happening due to an unavailability of a package for the `osx-arm64` architecture as inspected by me on the `conda-forge` package index.

You are right on this.

Unfortunately a few dependencies of xeus-octave are not yet packaged for osx-arm64 architecture.

I'm having a look at it, to see if it's possible to build them for this architecture.

Hi, @HarshitDoshi, if you want to try it, we now have a osx-arm64 build :tada:

[HarshitDoshi]

@rapgenic, this is amazing! Thank you very much for putting this together so quickly!

Let me start using it from now. I will finally be able to learn Octave in the environment I love.

I will provide feedback as and when I explore the build. Do let me know if there is any specific area which should be heavily tested.

🚀

[HarshitDoshi]

P.S. I will close this issue after I install the new build. Hope that's alright!

I just test on a m1 laptop and the package seems to work as expected. Closing.
