Installing SQuADDS on a Fresh Mac/Linux Conda Environment

Create a shell script with the following content. This allows a local development environment for SQuADDS.

#!/bin/bash

# Ensure script fails if any command fails
set -e

# Specify the env will be emulating x86
CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 conda create -n <env_name> python=3.10
# Activate env
conda activate <env_name>
# Set env to fetch x86 packages
conda config --env --set subdir osx-64
# Install qiskit metal
pip install qiskit-metal
# Install just the notebook component of jupyter
# Don't install the full 'jupyter' package which will lead to qt conflicts

There was no one resource avaiable online that walks through the process of installing qiskit-metal on a M1 Mac (Apple Silicon).

Hoping this helps others.

1. Create a fresh conda environment with python 3.10 or 3.11 and configure it to emulate x86

CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 conda create -n <env_name> python=3.11
conda activate <env_name>
conda config --env --set subdir osx-64
