Why does loading tensorflow on Mac lead to “Process finished with exit code 132 (interrupted by signal 4: SIGILL)”?

by

Seems that this problem happens when you have multiple python interpreters installed, and some of them are for differente architectuers (x86_64 vs arm64). You need to make sure that the correct python interpreter is being used, if you installed Apple’s version of tensorflow, then that probably requires an arm64 interpreter.

If you use rosetta (Apple’s x86_64 emulator) then you need to use a x86_64 python interpreter, if you somehow load the arm64 python interpreter, you will get the illegal instruction error (which totally makes sense).

If you use any script that installs new python interpreters, then you need to make sure the correct interpreter for the architecture is installed (most likely arm64).

Overalll I think this problem happens because the python environment setup is not made for systems that can run multiple instruction sets/architectures, pip does check the architecture of packages and the host system but seems you can run a x86_64 interpreter to load a package meant for arm64 and this produces the problem.

For reference there is an issue in tensorflow_macos that people can check.
