I am not able to install tensorflow-macos on m1 pro chip in my MacBook Pro then I'm receiving the following error.

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Hi Ironlegend,

Looks like you are using system's Python. Please make sure you to follow arm64 : Apple Silicon setup instructions and OS requirements. Once you install Miniforge env run:

source ~/miniforge3/bin/activate
conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps
python -m pip install tensorflow-macos
python -m pip install tensorflow-metal

After installing hdf5 with homebrew, I needed to set the two env vars before pip3 install h5py:

export HDF5_DIR="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/hdf5/1.13.0/"
export CPATH="/opt/homebrew/include/"

where 1.13.0 is the version of hdf5 installed.

The homebrew based method above did not work for me. I still get the blasted ERROR: "Could not build wheels for h5py, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects"

I really don't want to install anaconda

I have installed it successfully using the instructions from here.

https://github.com/jeffheaton/t81_558_deep_learning/blob/master/install/tensorflow-install-mac-metal-jul-2021.ipynb

It uses miniforge which is lightweight compared to the full Anaconda. I too do not like to have multiple package managers floating around but nothing else was working and it is

I did eventually get everything to compile correctly but my TensorFlow would never run. It always ended with an error "INTERNAL: platform is already registered with name: "METAL". I could not get this to work with my homebred'ed Python3.9.10 but it works flawlessly with Python3.9.10 from miniforge.
