Compatibility with Mac M1 chip

[14stutzmanav]

Hi there, I'm trying to set up HiGlass on my new machine, which is has the apple M1 chip. I followed the steps online for setting up higlass (which worked fine on my previous machine) but I'm getting an error when I finally try to run higlass-manage for the first time.

Steps to reproduce

1. On a mac with an M1 chip, install docker and python3.
2. Use pip to install higlass
   pip3 install higlass-manage
3. Run higlass locally
   higlass-manage start

Observed behavior

• Long error message, with the following Import Error:
  ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/bbi/cbbi.cpython-310-darwin.so, 0x0002): tried: '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/bbi/cbbi.cpython-310-darwin.so' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e'))

Expected behavior

• Image not found error (abbreviated error is shown below)

Original error was: dlopen(/Users/alexis7victoria/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/_multiarray_umath.so, 2): Library not loaded: @rpath/libopenblas.dylib

 Reason: image not found

Hi, sorry for the delayed response. Did you happen to get this resolved?

One potential solution is to open your terminal in Rosetta mode:
