Unable to import psutil on M1 mac with miniforge: (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e'))

Question:

I’m using a miniforge environment on an M1 mac, and unable to import psutil:

ImportError: dlopen(/Users/caspsea/miniforge3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/psutil/_psutil_osx.cpython-39-darwin.so, 0x0002): tried: '/Users/caspsea/miniforge3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/psutil/_psutil_osx.cpython-39-darwin.so' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e')), '/usr/local/lib/_psutil_osx.cpython-39-darwin.so' (no such file), '/usr/lib/_psutil_osx.cpython-39-darwin.so' (no such file)

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling using pip but that did not work. I’m using python 3.9, OS Monterey 12.2.1

Have you tried:

pip uninstall psutil

followed by:

pip install --no-binary :all: psutil

Thanks Jude’s answer.

I encontered ImportError: dlopen …(mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have (x86_64), need (arm64e)) when I run Jupyter Lab from new MacBook.

And when trying intall psutil, I got

xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
error: command ‘/usr/bin/clang’ failed with exit code 1
[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for psutil
Failed to build psutil
ERROR: Could not build wheels for psutil, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

to fix that, I download xcode
