[compilation not working] install option native not found

[blackTay]

The following has happened on both linux machines that we have tried.

When running the pip install metacells command, the installation seems to work fine but upon including metacells in python, it instructs to re-compile:

ImportError: The metacells precompiled wheel is using AVX2 FMA instructions. However, AVX2 FMA is not available on this computer's processors. You can avoid the wheel using: pip install metacells --install-option=--native This will compile the metacells package on and for this computer's processors.

However, metacells does not recognise the install the advertised install option. In particular, pip install metacells --install-option=--native leads to

error: option --native not recognized

Pip has changed its flags because "reasons". The flags for forcing or avoiding the use of precompiled wheels changed to --only-binary <control> and --no-binary <control> and --prefer-binary <control>. See pip install --help for details.
