unable to install on Mac (M1)

[icaroafoliveira]

Dear developers,

I could not install the ASLDRO on my current machine (Mac Air with M1 architecture).

ERROR: Could not build wheels for numpy, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

There is a problem with the numpy version. Version 1.19 does not support the M1 chip.

Is it possible to update the requirements? The newest version of numpy works fine with the M1 chip.

Best wishes,

Icaro

Hi Icaro,
Are you pip installing ASLDRO, or installing the development version from github? I would highly recommend using the development version, rather than v.2.2.0, because there are a lot more features there. Version 2.3.0 has been in the works for some time, but things have somewhat stalled. I'll see if we can put out a release with numpy updated, although this might also require a more recent version of many other libraries, and the python version, so it could be less trivial and I would hope.

Best regards,
Aaron

Hi Icaro,
To get you up-and-running, it might be worthwhile installing a more-recent version of the dependencies and ignoring the specific package dependencies. You should be able to do this by first running:

pip install -U pip
pip install -U "nibabel==3.*" "numpy==1.*" "jsonschema==3.*" "nilearn==0.*"
pip install -U --no-deps asldro

We have focused on 'pinning' specific requirements, to ensure reproducibility of results. We'll try to find a better system for doing this optionally and allow a looser set of package requirements.

It is working now!
Thank you for the help!
Best regards,
