The script also works on M1 Macs, Homebrew being installed under Rosetta 2, as some Python packages are still missing native M1 support. In case you already have Homebrew installed natively and things don't work, see `here <https://github.com/luxonis/depthai/issues/299#issuecomment-757110966>`__ for some additional troubleshooting steps.

M1 Mac build wheels natively
----------------------------

In order to run DepthAI natively on M1 Mac, you currently need to build the wheels locally. We will add pre-building M1 wheels
in Q2 of 2022, so this won't be needed anymore.

This tutorial was provided by whab and tested on a MacBookPro M1 Pro running macOS Monterey 12.1 with a OAK-D-Lite.

.. code-block:: bash

# Install native M1 version of brew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zprofile
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

# Install conda to create virtual environments for Python
brew install --cask miniconda
conda init zsh

# Close and re-open a Terminal window

# Install DepthAI by building a M1 wheel (inside ~/DepthAI/)
conda create --name DepthAIEnv39 python=3.9
conda activate DepthAIEnv39
python3 -m pip install -U pip
brew update
brew install cmake libusb
cd ~; mkdir DepthAI; cd DepthAI
git clone --recursive https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-python.git
cd depthai-python
mkdir build && cd build
# Build depthai-python
cmake ..
cmake --build . --parallel
cd ..
python3 -m pip wheel . -w wheelhouse
pip install wheelhouse/depthai-*

We should get the fix in instead of this...
(got a branch for this, will open a PR tomorrow)

EDIT: I'll address when GitHub M1 Runner support is out...
