Just wanted to mention that I’m on an M1 running MacOS 12.2 and @acmilannesta 's workaround (pip install git+https://github.com/h2oai/datatable) worked for me.

In contrast, pip3 install datatable didn’t work for me with pip3 version 22.0.3. (I got a gendoc error.)

@oleksiyskononenko I have some time next week and will start looking into this. Moving to the thread above.

It looks you are using a x86_64 emulated shell session. You need to start an arm64 session with arch -arm64 zsh and then do the pip install.

Is that possible you could release pre-built wheel files on mac m1?

I’d love to, but this is complicated by the fact that I do not own nor have access to a mac M1 machine. I’ll see if we can set this up on Travis, but it is not clear if they have mac M1s either.
