  <p>I am not sure why its building numpy</p>
  <p>I installed numpy separately using the conda miniforge as mentioned here: <a href="https://towardsdatascience.com/new-apple-silicon-m1-macbook-air-the-dream-laptop-for-machine-learning-engineers-a1590fbd170f" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://towardsdatascience.com/new-apple-silicon-m1-macbook-air-the-dream-laptop-for-machine-learning-engineers-a1590fbd170f</a></p>
  <p>Can someone help if they have more experience with this?</p>
