'tensorflow-deps - PackagesNotFoundError

I'm using my new M1 Pro with the latest Mac OS 12.1 and I'm experiencing issues with installing tensorflow.

I installed Miniforge3 using:

chmod +x ~/Downloads/Miniforge3-MacOSX-arm64.sh

sh ~/Downloads/Miniforge3-MacOSX-arm64.sh

source ~/miniforge3/bin/activate

I've created an environment and have it activated.

Then I tried

conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps

And here is what's returned:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done

Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

Solution 1:[1]

I had the same problem At first you should install miniforge like in this guide https://makeoptim.com/en/deep-learning/tensorflow-metal. At first, download it from GitHub. Then write "bash (full path to the file of Miniforge)" in the terminal. Then create virtual environment and write "conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps".

I followed the instructions shown here

I faced the same problem, but finally I find I am wrong to install Miniforge3 uncompletely.I always stop in the step view below.At beginning, when I see this view,I think I have finish and close the terminal and start to do the next step.

enter image description here

Finally, I find I need to keep press enter button until the installation step complete. ,and then I can start to create env and to install tensorflow. The step is easy to follow. I am not sure if you have the same problem as me. for your reference.
