Unable to install pyproj on mac pro m1

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

Not being able to install pyproj on an m1 mac using pip install pyproj

Here's the error

Probably need to install from source: https://pyproj4.github.io/pyproj/stable/installation.html#installing-from-source

This does not seem to be possible with poetry for instance:

• Equivalent of pip install --no-binary python-poetry/poetry#365
• How to add a dependency with --no-binary option python-poetry/poetry#1316

[snowman2]

Probably related to generating universal osx wheels on Python 10: pyproj4/pyproj-wheels#46

Side note: Due to the issues referenced, I don't use poetry for any geospatial python projects. Instead, I use pipenv as it allows installing from source.

[rgreinho]

You're probably right. The install works with poetry, but it picks the wrong architecture for the .so library and fails at runtime:

from pyproj._network import (  # noqa: F401 pylint: disable=unused-import
ImportError: dlopen(~/projects/PeopleForBikes/measure/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pyproj/_network.cpython-310-darwin.so, 0x0002): tried: '~/projects/PeopleForBikes/measure/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pyproj/_network.cpython-310-darwin.so' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e')), '/usr/local/lib/_network.cpython-310-darwin.so' (no such file), '/usr/lib/_network.cpython-310-darwin.so' (no such file)

The workaround for this issue is the following:

rm -fr .venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pyproj*
poetry run pip install pyproj --no-binary pyproj

I had the same problem and here is what worked for me:

rm $HOME/venv/bin/proj
rm $HOME/venv/bin/pyproj

cd your_project_path
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
poetry init # Accept all defaults
poetry run pip install pyproj --no-binary pyproj
rm pyproject.toml

This should only be done once. For the future environments the pip command will work:

python3 -m venv pyenv_nogit
source pyenv_nogit/bin/activate
pip install pyproj

[jannismain]

After reading the documentation about installing from source, the following worked for me:

pip uninstall -y pyproj
brew install proj
pip install pyproj --no-binary pyproj

[snowman2]

pyproj==3.3.1 was just released and wheels shouldn't be downloaded for Mac M1 anymore.

This should work:

brew install proj
python -m pip install pyproj

If it doesn't please let us know.

[snowman2]

See: #1064

[songololo]

The above installation methods are not working for me on an M1, any advice?

Here is the error message I get, whether attempting to install via pip install pyproj or if trying to build from source per pip install pyproj --no-binary pyproj. (I use brew for proj):
