Which Python version are you using? The requirements.txt file is pinned to Python v3.10

[RyanMullins]

Oh... I just saw the Apple M1 architecture note. That's the problem. We've pinned to older versions of TF and TF Text and they don't support M-chips, only x86 AFAIK, so the Docker image is probably being built to target ARM and failing to find anything compatible on PyPI. Will investigate further.

[iislucas]

lol, read the error Lucas! (I'm was using the default python installed by homebrew, 3.12)

I guess maybe we can improve the readme to make that dependency clearer ahead of time, so that the default setup on a modern machine doesn't error, e.g. by setting the command python3.10 instead of just python3.10?

[iislucas]

Your guess was right, even with python 3.10 MacBook m1 install gives this error:

[RyanMullins]

Yeah... I'm working on Py3.11-3.12 support for v1.2. This will include relaxing some dependencies that will allow running examples on M-chips. We're running into some version conflicts internally though so this may take a few more weeks to resolve.

[RyanMullins]

@iislucas I think that the dependency changes in #1364 will address the Apple Silicon incompatibilities, but I still need to verify that.
