I have installed python 3.7.9 on Apple M1 silicon (Big Sur) and have ensured PATH is updated so my Python3 --version returns the same active version 3.7.9. There are multiple discard warnings in the installation, but finally, the installation fails with the below log trail. I assume this has to do with the hardware dependency resolution for Tensorflow and other packages that is not resolved for Apple M1 silicon macs yet. Any guidance on how to get Rasa running on M1 macs would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

In the meantime, I’ve written an unofficial guide that might help. Full description can be found on the forum here:
