Pis4 not available in Conda channels

[Mohammad]

Hi,

I have installed Miniconda3 on MacOS M1 Pro, but could not install psi4 via Conda:

$ conda install psi4 python=3.8 -c psi4
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

• psi4

Current channels:

• Osx Arm64 :: Anaconda.org
• Noarch :: Anaconda.org
• main/osx-arm64
• main/noarch
• r/osx-arm64
• r/noarch

To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you’re
looking for, navigate to

https://anaconda.org

and use the search bar at the top of the page.

It is appreciated if somebody gives me a clue about this problem. Thanks!

@loriab question, per usual.

Right, we build conda packages for Linux (Windows WSL can use also), Intel Mac, and native Windows. So far none for the new Mac chips, as we don’t have local hardware. That will have to wait for a switch to conda-forge based (which in turn is waiting for some integrals updates). There some guidance on compiling psi for M1 here https://github.com/psi4/psi4/issues/2333.
