How to not mess up your python environment with Mac M1 tested with:
Macbook Air M1 Ventura
Brew 3.6.21
Pyenv pyenv 2.3.12-16-gc8daaa39
Python 3.11.1
Wrong Python Package Path
if pip environment is correct, but packages are installed to wrong location, check pip config list
if the target is wrong, search for the pip.conf file
should be here /Users/<myusername>/.config/pip/pip.conf
amend the path to the correct one
check with pip config list if the changes were applied correctly
Running Homebrew's uninstall script
$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)" or see git docu The following possible Homebrew files were not deleted [...] --> delete manually or run sudo rm -rf /opt/homebrew/
Remove Homebrew shell configuration
run cat ~/.zprofile
delete this line eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
check whether traces are still there with ls -ag /opt (total should be 0)
see & follow git docu
if Homebrew asks you to add lines to your .zprofile through terminal command, do so! (or add with nano ~/.zprofile)
Install Pyenv through Github
clone the pyenv repo into your home folder:
$ git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv
$ cd ~/.pyenv && src/configure && make -C src
edit .zshrc and add the following lines at the bottom of the file
export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init --path)"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
quit your terminal and reopen it
pyenv should be activated and you can start to install some Python pyenv install --list --> pyenv install <your preferred version>
pyenv shell <your preferred version>test which pip pyenv -V
