Troubleshooting vn.py Installation on Apple Silicon Macs

Summary

This forum thread discusses installing vn.py on an Apple Silicon Mac, with a particular focus on launching its CTP gateway. Participants point to the gateway project's installation guidance and identify Python environment conflicts as one possible cause. One user reports resolving the issue by removing multiple Python installations, cloning the gateway repository again, compiling it, and correcting the CTP path in the launcher. Another participant advises using the official Python distribution rather than Anaconda.

The thread also shows a failed Git clone with an unexpected disconnect and missing repository directory, followed by a package-install error caused by running from the wrong location. A reply attributes this to a network problem and suggests changing the source. These are user-reported fixes, not a complete or verified installation guide; the discussion gives little detail about exact commands, supported versions, or how to distinguish environment problems from network failures.

Key ideas

  • Multiple Python installations may cause problems when setting up vn.py and its CTP gateway.
  • A participant reports success after removing duplicate Python installations, recloning and compiling the gateway, and correcting its path.
  • The thread advises using official Python instead of Anaconda.
  • A failed clone can leave no repository directory, making a later package-install command fail from the wrong location.
  • The suggested network workaround is to change the clone source, but the thread gives no detailed procedure.
