We should be able to just, 'pip install arcticdb', if we are on Apple Silicon (I'm on an M4 Max), but I'm getting the standard error:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement arcticdb (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for arcticdb

pip index versions arcticdb
ERROR: No matching distribution found for arcticdb

I have the same issue. Can you please help.

The word is that a version compatible with Apple Silicon will be available by the end of 2025.

Until the wheels for MacOS appear on PyPI (not currently there as of today) are they available anywhere for download whilst in Beta? I would like to try out if possible. Thanks

You can use the builds from conda-forge.

Thanks @jjerphan . I was aware of that. I have been using conda the last 9 months but it is out of line with a bunch of our workflows and we would rather use Pypi (which we already can in CICD and deploy as they on AMD64 machines) but dev is on MacOS so it's a bit of a mess with the switch over. Hence why I was keen to see the PR adding MacOS PyPI builds. The README docs for this repo now say that MacOS binary builds on PyPI are now in beta but I can't see any way of finding where they are.

[jjerphan]

They have not been published yet.

Ok thanks

@jjerphan Is there any update on when the apple silicon beta builds on Pypi will be published or at least the wheels made available? Thanks

[ttamg]

@jjerphan I see the macOS wheels just became available on the latest pre-release a couple of hours ago. Wonderful thanks.

They likely will be available on PyPI once #2761 is completed.
