tensorflow-deps package not found (Intel Mac)

When I try to install it, I get a "package not found" error. Is this package only for M1 macs?

conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps

This is expected behavior. The tensorflow-deps is only for Apple Silicon as there were certain packages which were not working with pip alone. We created a conda recipe to support those which were prebuilt in Anaconda. For Intel (x86) that problem doesn't exist. You should be able to use regular pip.

First step is for x86, you don't need tensorflow-deps for it.
