Hi, I’ve got a fancy new mac with the new M1 chip. Mantid does not seem to like it. In a similar way the crash reporter crashes on startup.
Mantid starts up nicely
Spinning beachball/unresponsive application
Start mantid
MacOS Big Sur 11.0.01 new mac mini with M1 processor
Mantid 5.1.0 & 5.1.20201202.1608
As far as I know, no one has tried to install Mantid on a new Mac with Big Sur yet!
Was there a “Problem Report for Python” when Mantid failed to launch?
Nothing obvious popped up. I can have a dig about for logs etc. if you let me know where to look.
That’s fine for the moment. You would have seen the Python report pop-up if it was created.
To be honest, for the moment, we’re very unlikely to get Mantid to work with the M1 chip without some code changes. As we currently don’t have an M1 Mac in the development team, we’re not going to be able to support it. I’m sure as Big Sur and newer Macs become more common we’ll be able to support them, but for the meantime I’m not sure there’s much we can do, sadly.
I’ll update you if we start trying to support M1 devices.
Thanks Daniel. I was expecting that it would work easily enough due to the chips x86 emulation. Sounds like a good excuse to do some shopping to me…
Haha I agree it’s a good exciuse for some shopping. Later in the week, I might have a look at Big Sur on the Mac I’ve got, but can you try launching from terminal:
/Applications/MantidWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS/MantidWorkbench
I assume that won’t work, but is there any useful ouput?
Also, try:
cd /Applications/MantidWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$PWD/../PlugIns/
export PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATH
python3 -m workbench.app.main
And:
/Applications/MantidWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS/mantidpython --classic
import qtpy.QtCore
If we can get some more info then we might not be flying so blind.
Hello again,
launching from terminal causes hanging as before, with no output.
The second test:
cd /Applications/MantidWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$PWD/../PlugIns/
export PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATH
python3 -m workbench.app.main
gives a lot of output:

Thanks for trying those. Can you try a slightly amended version of the second test, as it seems to be using your system Python rather than the version we have bundled with Mantid.
cd /Applications/MantidWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$PWD/../PlugIns/
export PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATH
./python -m workbench.app.mainSame as previous - hangs on startup
It offers me an error report - I’ve clipped the start and added at the bottom, but can add the rest if you want. It’s pretty long.
I’d be happy if I can get the mantid algorithms working in standalone python.
if I try:
import sys
import os
os.environ.update({'MANTIDPATH': '/Applications/MantidPlot.app/Contents/MacOS'})
sys.path.append(os.environ['MANTIDPATH'])
from mantid.simpleapi import *
I get
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mantid'
Is it possible that the installer is not properly setting MANTIDPATH? Should it be
'/Applications/MantidPlot.app/Contents/MacOS'
or is there some other directory I should point it at?
Thanks

Oops - problem in previous post all my fault:
I used '/Applications/MantidPlot.app/Contents/MacOS' instead of '/Applications/MantidWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS'.

Wish I’d seen this before updating to Big Sur… there’s always something! I’m having the same issue, have tried this with latest stable version, and yesterday’s (27/01) nightly build. Still hanging on launch.
Quick update on this. Tried with most recent nightly build again (5.1.202010201.855) and some progress, actually getting to the stage where an error message appears before everything completely crashes!

Hi All
Same for me with Workbench and and M1 Big Sur Mac.
Interestingly, “end-of-life” mantidplot works fine.
Getting the same missing dynamic library message as ChrisR.
As mentioned on the issue, there seems to be a workaround, so you should be able to launch from terminal with:
export QT_MAC_WANTS_LAYER=1
/Applications/MantidWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS/MantidWorkbenchThanks Daniel - can confirm that works for me on M1.
Works for me too - thanks
