[bnqtoan]

I followed the installation instructions provided in the document, but encountered an error.

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mlx>=0.1 (from mlx-lm) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for mlx>=0.1

conda 24.1.2
pip 23.3.1 (python 3.11)
Apple M1 Max

i just updated the installation instruction, you can try again now!

I use pip install chat-with-mlx command.

windows 11

mlx is a mac silicon only framework so i dont think this would work on windows 11

I got the same Error:

I have tried python 3.8.9 python 3.12.2 python 3.8.9 but all failed.

I think you have an incompatible MacOS version or machine.
Note that this issue only for MacOS >= 13.3 and the Mac needs to run Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) chip. Can you confirm that on your end?

Hi @teojs & @MrFrankChen are you guys installing with normal pip? can you try to install with conda or pip install chat-with-mlx?

Thank you! I found a solution here "ml-explore/mlx#200", created an environment with a native Python, and then it works.

I got same question
Device: MBP 2023
System: Sonoma 14.0
Python: conda 23.1.0 Python 3.11.8

Finnaly i solve the problem.
Reason: mlx
Solve: stack overflow solution
Simple solution command: CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-arm64 conda create -n native-mlx-chat python=3.11 -c conda-forge

use the command create a new conda env. and finnaly it works for me.

@illrestart let me also test with conda and write proper document for people who want to use conda but simple and fast way of install atm is using plain simple "venv + pip"

[YouhuaLi]

I had the same issue and I think it happens only to conda user. I fixed the issue by specify the platform to be "osx-arm64" when create the env:
CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-arm64 conda create -n mlx-chat python=3.11
conda activate mlx-chat
conda config --env --set subdir osx-arm64

then python -m pip insall -e . should be ok.
