Problem installing Django Tech Stack on Apples M1

Question

I just got a new Mac with an M1 chip, but I have problems getting our stack to run.

Its a django project, with a few dependencies attached. Most of them being:

• grpcio (1.43.0)
• google-cloud-vision==2.1.0
• googlemaps==4.4.2
• firebase-admin==5.2.0
• google-api-core[grpc]==1.31.5 via
  • firebase-admin
  • google-api-python-client
  • google-cloud-core
  • google-cloud-firestore
  • google-cloud-storage
  • google-cloud-vision

When installing on a fresh M1, using python 3.9.10, i get this error

I tried googling this issue to no avail. I am using brew to install most of my things, so also python.

I also have these settings set in my .zshrc file, to accomdate for other problems:

export CFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib -L$(brew --prefix zlib)/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include -I$(brew --prefix zlib)/include"
export GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_OPENSSL=1
export GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_ZLIB=1
