Python API Installation problems on OSX

[Mario Martinez-Zarzuela]

Hi,

I tried to install different versions of OpenSim (4.2 and 4.3) Python API on a MAC computer (M1 chip) without success.

CASE 1: OpenSim 4.2 using Python 2.7 (the most promising):
sudo python setup.py install --> runs smoothly

In my .bashrc I included
export PYTHONPATH=/Applications/OpenSim\ 4.2/sdk/Python:$PYTHONPATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/Applications/OpenSim\ 4.2/sdk/lib

Problem:
Once installed, I try to import OpenSim module and get this error:
Python 2.7.16 (default, Jun 18 2021, 03:23:52)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

CASE 2: OpenSim 4.3 using Python 2.7:
Problem: I get invalid syntax error messages:

Many thanks in advance!

Hello,

OpenSim 4.3 was released before M1-based systems (Arm64) were widely available, as such we recommend using the Rosetta environment suggested by Apple
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861
until we have natively compiled libraries in the near future.

Best regards,
-Ayman

Hello Ayman,

Thank you for your prompt response. Not sure if I have fully understood, though.
I do have Rosetta installed in my system. OpenSim environment is working without problem.

My issue is with the Python API from command line, once installation is finished. Now tried to open terminal using Rosetta (https://apple.stackexchange.com/questio ... ilicon-mac), for the installation process. Below are the output of commands "sudo python setup.py build" and "sudo python setup.py install" in OpenSim 4.2: no errors, but name files point to the arm64 architecture (not x86-64).

So I do not know how to install the API using Rosetta...

Best regards,
Mario
