System Configuration

System OS: macOS Bigsur(11.2.2)

Djnago: 3.1.7

I create virtual env for my project using below steps

install virtualenv using pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv -p python3.x (whichever you want)
source /your_project/venv/bin/activate
your venv will activate and then you can install requirements with the help of pip

Try running this command:

arch -arch x86_64 /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install firebase-admin

It seems that grpc is not providing support for M1 macs.

You can try this since this could be the issue:

First, upgrade pip

pip3 install --upgrade pip

Then, update the setup tools:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade setuptools

At last, install grpcio using :

pip3 install --no-cache-dir  --force-reinstall -Iv grpcio==<version_number>

None of these accepted answers seem to work, but the top answer here works for me. How can I install GRPCIO on an Apple M1 Silicon laptop?
