I needed to install turecreate[ref] for a course I was doing on Coursera. At the onset, I didn't imagine I'd spend so much time setting up my laptop for this.
Makes sense to capture the hoops you need to jump to get something to work on an M1 which is built for x86 architecture.
turecreate is built for the intel chipset version of Mac OS. Newer macs(M1,M2) are built using arm64 architecture. You need to use the rosetta translation process to run such libraries.
This is what I encounter when installing psycopg2 on my M1 Mac.
