Hi I just purchased prodi.gy and am getting this error.
when I run this
**python -m prodigy stats or python3 -m prodigy stats**
I get this error
**zsh: illegal hardware instruction python -m prodigy stats**
when I run any command, i get the above error. commands such as this
**prodigy image.manual unique1 ./Users/dai/Unique --label FACE**
has anyone come across this issue? I just purchased and hope to be able to get it running on my M1 Mac. When it says illegal hardware, I wonder if it because of the mac version?

Hi @c00lcoder !
Thanks for your question.
Yes - this is likely due to a conflict between native (arm64) and emulation (x86\_64) architecture versions.
In a clean environment, can you prefix your `python -m pip install` command with `arch -arm64`?
Alternatively, you can run the `arch` command and can switch back and forth between arm64 (Mac) and x86\_64 (Intel), see [this blog post for more details](https://vineethbharadwaj.medium.com/m1-mac-switching-terminal-between-x86-64-and-arm64-e45f324184d9).
Let us know if you're still having issues.

I ended up installing on a linux VM for now. I'll try on MAC again later and provide an update

Thank you Ryan. I was able to switch from arm64 to x86\_64 and get it to work.
