[BUG]: can't install on apple silicon Mac KeyError: 'platform macosx-12-arm64 is not supported by robotpy-build! about robotpy-docs HOT 7 OPEN

WPILib does not currently support apple arm, you'll need to use a VM or something else.

from robotpy-docs.

WPILib and by extension robotpy are currently only distributed for x86/64 architectures. arm64 is not supported. Please install the x64 version of python and try again.

from robotpy-docs.

Oh interesting, do you think the x64 python would work on an Apple ARM machine?

from robotpy-docs.

I've heard that x64 WPILib works fine through Rosetta so am assuming Python would too. I don't have an ARM Mac to try for myself.

from robotpy-docs.

I haven't tried it yet, but you'd want to start by doing something like:
arch -x86_64 /usr/local/bin/brew install python

from robotpy-docs.

Any luck?

from robotpy-docs.

I already had an x86 version of python installed using the command above.

• arch -x86_64 /usr/local/bin/pip3 install -U robotpy
  • Works
• Now I'm trying to get cscore installed locally to be able to iterate on the Mac
  • arch -x86_64 robotpy-installer download robotpy-cscore
  • Works
