BigDL-LLM cannot be installed in Mac that use Xeon

[Snow West]

Hi,

     When I tried to install BigDL-LLM. I got the following errors on MacPro which use Xeon W CPU. What could be the issue?

(py3-venv)  [~/Work/LLM] pip install --pre --upgrade bigdl-llm[all]
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.python.org/simple, https://pypi.apple.com/simple
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement bigdl-llm[all] (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for bigdl-llm[all]

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry that bigdl-llm is currently not released for macos. If possible, you can try windows or linux alternatively.

Thanks,

Thanks for the information!

Are there any plan to support MacOS in the near future?

Best,

Hi Snow,

Sorry that MacOS support is currently not in our work scope. You are highly recommended to use Linux or Windows instead.

Thanks,
