Fix Conda env for osx-arm64

[agurgone]

Installing from conda using environment.yml fails because cvxpy and matplotlib stuggles on Apple Silicon osx-arm64.
Packages require new versions that can fit the requirements in Python 3.12.
"Conda could not find builds of matplotlib 3.7.5 and cvxpy 1.6.0 in your configured channels that satisfy osx-arm64 and the rest of this environment.”

Suggested update
cvxpy=1.7.2
matplotlib=3.10.6

We're not using conda anymore, they are only kept for backward compatiblility. Have you tried using uv ?

[agurgone]

I have relocated to UV. The installation works with the following command:

uv sync —python 3.12 —extra dev

Otherwise, a minor issue arises during UV run pytest.

Error: Failed to spawn: pytest … No such file or directory

As pytest is under project.optional-dependencies.dev, this error occurs.

Conda installation still requires the updated versions of cvxpy and matplotlib.

Although this is a secondary issue, it remains valid.

yes that's explained in the README, you need to add that to get pytest which is a development tool
