Python dependencies for having detectron2 running on Mac OS

I am running on Mac M1 Pro, MacOS Monterey 12.3. My conda environment has Python 3.8 installed. GRPC has been installed grpcio.

CC=clang CXX=clang++ ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" python -m pip install 'git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2.git'

I’ve followed this instruction for building grpcio. If you have problems with it, please install it through firebase-admin

Let's talk!

I'm Carlo Nicolini — I am interested on the reliability of AI reasoning systems (interpretability, inference-time methods, probabilistic language programming) and on quantitative portfolio optimization (I am a maintainer of skfolio). If you're working on something in these areas and think we might collaborate, chat, discuss, I'm happy to talk about it!
