Installing TensorFlow on M1 Chip - Issues. - PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

Question

I have an M1 chip but am having issues installing Tensorflow. I've tried a number of different methods but I feel im completely stuck.

I was following this particular tutorial - https://betterdatascience.com/install-tensorflow-2-7-on-macbook-pro-m1-pro/ -

but came unstuck when installing.

This is the error:

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

• tensorflow-deps

Current channels:

• https://conda.anaconda.org/apple/osx-64
• https://conda.anaconda.org/apple/noarch
• https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/osx-64
• https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch
• https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/osx-64
• https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/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.

Note I have anaconda already installed so is it a case of uninstalling it? I'm really stuck.

Thanks!
