Apple Mac M1 chip

I was able to run on my M1 Mac with miniconda & installing TensorFlow & OpenCV as follows:

TensorFlow

Reference: Getting Started with tensorflow-metal PluggableDevice

Install Tensorflow dependencies:

conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps

Install base TensorFlow:

python -m pip install tensorflow-macos

Install tensorflow-metal plugin:

python -m pip install tensorflow-metal

OpenCV

Reference: How to Safely Install OpenCV on the Mac M1

Add conda-forge to your .condarc config file:

conda config --add channels conda-forge

Install OpenCV:

conda install -c conda-forge opencv===4.5.3

Test that OpenCV has installed correctly by checking the version:

python -c "import cv2; print(cv2.__version__)"

This should print out the installed OpenCV Version:

4.5.3

Modifying requirements.txt

Comment out the following dependencies in requirements.txt:

  • opencv-python-headless
  • tensorflow

See this modified README.
