Run Turi Create (or any x86_64 lib) on Apple Silicon architecture

Please note, below outlined steps would apply for any x86_64 based python library to be installed on Apple silicon systems (M1, M2, M3).

If you’ve attempted to install Turi Create using pip install -U turicreate on an Apple Silicon-based system, you may have encountered the following error:

==================================================================================
TURICREATE ERROR

If you see this message, pip install did not find an available binary package
for your system.

Supported Platforms:
* macOS 10.12+ x86_64.
* Linux x86_64 (including WSL on Windows 10).

Support Python Versions:
* 2.7
* 3.5
* 3.6
* 3.7
* 3.8

Another possible cause of this error is an outdated pip version. Try:
`pip install -U pip`

==================================================================================

You may be encountering this issue due to two reasons:

You’re using a Python version not supported by Turi Create, i.e., greater than 3.8 or less than 2.7.Apple Silicon-based systems use the arm64 architecture type, which is not supported by Turi Create.

To address this, you can create a conda environment that can run the supported architecture type (x86_64) with a supported Python version. Here’s how to do it:

Setting Architecture Type to x86_64

Open a new terminal and run the following command:

env /usr/bin/arch -x86_64 /bin/zsh

This ensures that all subsequent commands in the session will run as the required architecture type. You can also create an alias for this command for future use.

Install Miniconda

Install miniconda using homebrew:

brew install –cask miniconda

If you need to install homebrew, refer the steps at https://brew.sh/

Ensure that Miniconda is installed only after setting the architecture type to x86_64 on your terminal.

Setup Conda environment

Run following commands in the same terminal session.

conda create -n <env_name> -y
conda activate <env_name>
conda config —env —set subdir osx-64

Replace <env_name> with your desired environment name.

Install Supported Python Version

Install a supported Python version for the conda environment:

conda install python=3.10

This will install an x86_64 based python.

Install Turi Create

Finally, install Turi Create using the following command.

Make sure your conda environment is active

pip install -U turicreate

With these steps, you should now be able to successfully install and use Turi Create on your Apple Silicon-based system.
