Problem when building from source on ARM M1 Mac

[c-bohn]

Description

Hi,

Since there is no version of scikit-image for ARM processors yet, I'm trying to install it from source on my M1 Mac.
I followed the instructions provided in the README and installing the dependencies with

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

worked fine.
However on the next step:

$ pip install .

I get the following error:

WARNING: Discarding file:///Users/user/Desktop/scikit-image-main. Command errored out with exit status 1: /Users/user/miniforge3/envs/tf_env/bin/python3.8 /Users/user/miniforge3/envs/tf_env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip install --ignore-installed --no-user --prefix /private/var/folders/p8/9nljsf7n003g7xnhz07_1fkh0000gn/T/pip-build-env-p9ajomro/overlay --no-warn-script-location --no-binary :none: --only-binary :none: -i https://pypi.org/simple -- wheel 'setuptools<=51.0.0' 'Cython>=0.29.18' 'numpy==1.16.5; python_version=='"'"'3.7'"'"'' 'numpy==1.17.3; python_version=='"'"'3.8'"'"'' 'numpy==1.19.3; python_version=='"'"'3.9'"'"'' 'numpy; python_version>='"'"'3.10'"'"'' Check the logs for full command output.

Is there anything straightforward I can do to make it work, or do I need to wait until an ARM compatible version is available?

Thanks in advance for any help!

conda-forge is already building the arm package for you.

Since you are using miniforge, why do you want to use the pip package?

Building up infrastructure for Mac OSX is going to take alot of time.
Centralized projects like conda-forge make that easier to manage when new computers arrive.

Maybe try

conda install scikit-image

I also notice you are on python 3.8. I don't think python 3.8 is well supported by mac arm64. I would try 3.9.

Thanks a lot!
With

conda install scikit-image

it works.
