Problems installing quantlib in python

I'm trying to install quantlib in python, using pycharm. But I'm receiving this error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement QuantLib (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for QuantLib

[notice] A new release of pip available: 22.3.1 -> 23.1
[notice] To update, run: pip install --upgrade pip

I've upgraded pip, but that was not the issue. I'm using python Python 3.7.16. I've even tried installing QuantLib python library available in pypy but the same result shows:

Collecting QuantLib-Python==1.18
  Using cached QuantLib_Python-1.18-py2.py3-none-any.whl (1.4 kB)

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement QuantLib (from quantlib-python) (from versions: none)

Solution

  • Like like @luigi-ballabio mentioned above : wheel for quantlib was not present for python 3.7 , arm architecture.

    I was able to resolve this using the following steps :

    Install Rosetta

    Create a Rosetta terminal

    Install X86 homebrew in the Rosetta terminal

    Create an alias for the X86 homebrew in /usr/local/bin/brew

    Use the X86 brew to install X86 python (ends up /usr/local/bin/python3)

    Create a virtualenv based on the X86 python path

    pip install quantlib
