Issue with Installing on Mac M1 Using Conda

Hello!

I am new to OpenMC and followed the instructions in section 2.1 “Installing on Linux/Mac with Conda”, from the user guide. However, I encountered the following response in my Terminal:

I am working on a MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Pro chip and macOS Sequoia 15.3.2.

Have you faced the same issue? Do you know an alternate channel where I could get the conda package openmc? What is the easiest way to install OpenMC on a M1 Mac?

I really hope that you can help me further.

Many thanks in advance! I look forward to your responses.

Best regards, Rudolf

Hi! the best way is to get an intel conda environment on conda/mamba!

Follow these steps and from that environment you should be able to install openmc via conda.
