How to install grpcio on MacOS 13 with M1?

Question

I am trying to install grpcio v1.47.0 using pip and Python v3.8.13 on MacOS v13.0 with M1 Pro but it fails with errors as below:

I call pip as: CFLAGS="-I /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/lib" GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYST EM_OPENSSL=1 GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_ZLIB=1 CC="clang -w" pip install grpcio==1.47.0

I've tried a lot of variants already, even to pass paths to absl that was installed by brew and read all similar topics that I could find but it didn't help me.

How can I install it?

I had this exact same issue and the problem was my clang version (Apple clang version 13.1.6). Installing llvm from brew and then using that instead of apple clang worked for me. — orhanhenrik, Sep 29 '22 at 11:11
@orhanhenrik can you please share how it can be done? Simply `brew install llvm` and then what? — Opal, Nov 03 '22 at 11:09
