Certainly! Installing Python on an M1 Mac involves a few steps to ensure compatibility with the Apple Silicon architecture. Below is a step-by-step tutorial with code examples:
Homebrew is a package manager for macOS, and it simplifies the installation of various software, including Python.
Follow the instructions that Homebrew provides during the installation.
Now that Homebrew is installed, you can use it to install Python. It is recommended to install the pyenv tool as well, which helps manage multiple Python versions.
After installing pyenv, add the following lines to your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc):
Restart your terminal or run source ~/.zshrc (or source ~/.bashrc) to apply the changes.
Now, you can use pyenv to install Python. It's recommended to install the latest version that supports Apple Silicon.
Replace 3.10.0 with the latest version available. You can check the latest version on the Python official website.
Set the newly installed Python version as the global version.
Check if Python is correctly installed and is the expected version.
This should output the version you installed (e.g., Python 3.10.0).
Create a virtual environment for your projects to avoid conflicts between different projects and system Python.
That's it! You have successfully installed Python on your M1 Mac using Homebrew and pyenv.
