Installation with PIP on Mac M2 chip

[andreadelprete]

Hi,

some students of my class are having troubles installing example-robot-data on their Macbooks with Apple chips. They are installing it using pip. The installation apparently succeeds, but then when they try to import the package from a Python (3.13.9) terminal it says that the module was not found. Indeed, checking in the installation folder, we can find the *.dist-info folder, but there is no "example-robot-data" folder.

Installing other similar libraries (such as pinocchio, casadi, tsid) they do not experience the same issue. Any idea what the problem could be and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Hi,

This looks like a duplicate of #332

Can you double check with something like pip install example-robot-data-loaders ?

Thanks @nim65s . I've just asked my students to give this a try. I wonder then why the other students, who are not using Mac OS, did not encounter this issue.
