can't install gensim on apple M1

Question

I am trying to install python gensim module but getting errors.

 Running from numpy source directory.

I am not sure why its building numpy

I installed numpy separately using the conda miniforge as mentioned here: https://towardsdatascience.com/new-apple-silicon-m1-macbook-air-the-dream-laptop-for-machine-learning-engineers-a1590fbd170f

Can someone help if they have more experience with this?

Fixed by running the terminal on mac using rosetta so no longer having this issue. Thanks for replying.
