You: have a new M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max machine and would like to get started doing machine learning and data science on it.
This page: goes through a list of steps to install package managers and common machine learning and data science packages (software) on your machine and make sure they run using sample code.
- Download and install Homebrew from https://brew.sh. Follow the steps it prompts you to go through after installed.
- Download Miniforge3 (Conda installer) for macOS arm64 chips (M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max).
- Install Miniforge3 into home directory.
chmod +x ~/Downloads/Miniforge3-MacOSX-arm64.sh
sh ~/Downloads/Miniforge3-MacOSX-arm64.sh
source ~/miniforge3/bin/activate- Restart terminal.
- Create directory to setup TensorFlow environment.
mkdir tensorflow-test
cd tensorflow-test- Make and activate Conda environment.
conda create --prefix ./env
conda activate ./env- Install TensorFlow dependencies from Apple Conda channel.
conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps- Install base TensorFlow (Apple's fork of TensorFlow is called
tensorflow-macos).
python -m pip install tensorflow-macos- Install Apple's
tensorflow-metalto leverage Apple Metal (Apple's GPU framework) for M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max GPU acceleration.
python -m pip install tensorflow-metal- (Optional) Install TensorFlow Datasets to run benchmarks included in this repo.
python -m pip install tensorflow-datasets- Install common data science packages.
conda install jupyter pandas numpy matplotlib scikit-learn- Start Jupyter Notebook.
jupyter notebook- Import dependencies and check TensorFlow version/GPU access.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import sklearn
import tensorflow as tf
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Check for TensorFlow GPU access
print(f"TensorFlow has access to the following devices:\n{tf.config.list_physical_devices()}")
# See TensorFlow version
print(f"TensorFlow version: {tf.__version__}")If it all worked, you should see something like:
TensorFlow has access to the following devices:
[PhysicalDevice(name='/physical_device:CPU:0', device_type='CPU'),
PhysicalDevice(name='/physical_device:GPU:0', device_type='GPU')]
TensorFlow version: 2.5.0- Apple's TensorFlow Metal Plugin - https://developer.apple.com/metal/tensorflow-plugin/
- Conda Miniforge - https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge

I did all those things but when I run the last part of code in Jupyter Notebook, I get this:
