Hello,

I am pretty much a noob in python and AI so may somebody help me? Thanks

Hello @Benwei_Lu and welcome ,

First, try updating NumPy.
You can do this with the command:
pip install --upgrade numpy

Make sure you activate your deeplabcut_M1 environment before running this command.

I hope this helps! Happy DeepLabCutting🐭!

Cheers,
Installing collected packages: numpy
Attempting uninstall: numpy
Found existing installation: numpy 1.22.4
Uninstalling numpy-1.22.4:
Successfully uninstalled numpy-1.22.4
ERROR: pip’s dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
tensorflow-macos 2.12.0 requires numpy<1.24,>=1.22, but you have numpy 1.26.4 which is incompatible.
Successfully installed numpy-1.26.4
should I upgrade tensorflow or downgrade numpy?

I’m running into a similar issue as OP.
Downgrading tensorflow-macos and numpy leads to a subprocess error.
Upgrading numpy leads to a pytables error. conda install pytables installs 3.7 which is incompatible - it wants 3.8. So conda install pytables=3.8 updates numpy (1.22.4), which recreates the original error.
I can’t find a fix.

Hello @backyardbiomech ,

It sounds like you’re caught in a bit of a dependency conflict loop, which can be tricky sometimes.

To better help you, could you please provide the current versions of numpy , tensorflow-macos , and pytables you have installed? Also, detailing the specific errors and the steps you’ve already tried would be incredibly helpful.

Keep DeepLabCutting✨!

Cheers,
