After installation I tried:
peekingduck init then peekingduck run. Got the following error:

Hmm... interesting. I've never seen this error before. I also checked and don't have the /AppleInternal folder. My ~/Library/Caches also don't have com.apple.xbs. This is confounding...
Looks like we need more test samples for M1 Mac installs.

PeekingDuck M1 Mac Installation for macOS Monterey/Big Sur (update 2022-03-02)

Prerequisites

• Install homebrew
• Install miniforge: brew install miniforge

Setup Conda Environment

1. conda create -n pkd python=3.8
2. conda activate pkd
3. conda install click colorama opencv openblas pyyaml requests scipy shapely tqdm

Install Tensorflow (macOS Monterey)

4. conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps==2.7.0
5. pip install tensorflow-estimator==2.7.0 tensorflow-macos==2.7.0 tensorflow-metal==0.3.0

Install Tensorflow (macOS Big Sur)

4. conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps==2.6.0
5. pip install tensorflow-estimator==2.6.0 tensorflow-macos==2.6.0 tensorflow-metal==0.2.0

Install PyTorch (currently CPU-only)

6. pip install torch torchvision

Install PeekingDuck

7. pip install peekingduck --no-dependencies

Notes:

• Apple's Tensorflow build for macOS Monterey now defaults to version 2.8.0. PeekingDuck needs version 2.7.0 to work.
• Prefer conda install to pip install when installing a new package. Use pip only if the package is unavailable on conda, or the conda package is incompatible with existing ones.
