Some learners in a our Discourse community have found a method to get this lab running in Macs that use the M1 chip.
Notice that this only works for Method 1 Creating a virtual Environment and not for the Docker method.
If this method stops working please raise an issue to let us know!
Install TF dependencies:
conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps
Install TF for mac:
python -m pip install tensorflow-macos
Install TF Metal plugin:
python -m pip install tensorflow-metal
Add conda-forge to your list of channels (in this context channels are where libraries are pulled from):
conda config --add channels conda-forge
Install OpenCV:
conda install -c conda-forge opencv===4.5.3
Check your OpenCV installation:
python -c "import cv2; print(cv2.__version__)"
This command should print 4.5.3 in your terminal.
Since you have already installed versions of Tensorflow and OpenCV that are compatible with your mac you need to prevent these from getting modified in the next step.
To do this, open the requirements.txt and comment-out or delete the lines:
opencv-python-headless==4.5.3.56
tensorflow==2.7.0Now you can go back to the previous documentation to finish the setup!
