conda env broken after installing pytorch on M1 - Intel MKL FATAL ERROR
I installed pytorch on my M1 mac book, following some instructions on-line (via conda command). Then my whole environment got corrupted. Whenever I try to import some library (pandas, numpy, whatever) I get this:
Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: This system does not meet the minimum requirements for use of the Intel(R) Math Kernel Library.
The processor must support the Intel(R) Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (Intel(R) SSSE3) instructions.
The processor must support the Intel(R) Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.2 (Intel(R) SSE4.2) instructions.
The processor must support the Intel(R) Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel(R) AVX) instructions.


How can I fix it?
How can I install pytorch successully?


Here is what worked for me a few weeks ago:

Create a new conda environment and activate it.
conda install ipykernel jupyter numpy pandas matplotlib nomkl (the key part being to include nomkl and don't include PyTorch).
pip install torch torchvision

I could not get step 3 to work using conda (possibly related issue).
This doesn't feel like a robust solution (mixing conda and pip), but the environment has worked for me the past few weeks.
