## Background
base [Installing Leo — Leo 6\.6\.2 documentation](http://leoeditor.com/installing.html#installing-leo-on-macos-10-7-lion-and-later)
can not installing Leo on MacOs 12.4 with M1max chip:
## Upgrade
> only for M1 chip Mac Book Pro
base ARM support Homebrew, check version:
$ abrew --version
Homebrew 3.4.11
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision b8f03171990; last commit 2022-05-27)
Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision 7cd05aa248; last commit 2022-05-27)
> PS:
base alias for Intel and ARM verions (`~/.bash_profile`):
alias abrew='/opt/homebrew/bin/brew '
alias ibrew='/usr/local/bin/brew '
install moniconda:
$ abrew install miniconda
initialization it:
$ conda init bash
SEE: [Deep dive: conda init and activate — conda 4\.13\.0\.post1\+0adcd595 documentation](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/dev-guide/deep-dive-activation.html)
will `~/.bash_profile` fund like:
# >>> conda initialize >>>
# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
__conda_setup="$('/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/bin/conda' 'shell.bash' 'hook' 2> /dev/null)"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
eval "$__conda_setup"
else
if [ -f "/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then
. "/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
else
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/bin:$PATH"
fi
fi
unset __conda_setup
# <<< conda initialize <<<
install PyQt:
$ abrew install PyQt@5
base `conda info` check miniconda is working;
and create Leo special environment:
$ conda create -n leo3912 python=3.9.12
check result:
$ conda env list
conda env list
/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/lib/python3.9/site-packages/_distutils_hack/__init__.py:30: UserWarning: Setuptools is replacing distutils.
warnings.warn("Setuptools is replacing distutils.")
# conda environments:
#
base * /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base
leo3912 /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/envs/leo3912
copy PyQt packets from brew to miniconda:
such as:
+ from `/opt/homebrew/Cellar/pyqt@5/5.15.6/lib/python3.9/site-packages/`
+ to `/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/envs/leo3912/lib/python3.9/site-packages/`
need all of them:
PyQt3D-5.15.5.dist-info
PyQt5
PyQt5-5.15.6.dist-info
PyQt5_sip-12.9.0-py3.9.egg-info
PyQtChart-5.15.5.dist-info
PyQtDataVisualization-5.15.5.dist-info
PyQtNetworkAuth-5.15.5.dist-info
PyQtPurchasing-5.15.5.dist-info
and download Leo Source code release from [Latest](https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/releases/latest)
deploy into right path, such as `/opt/bin/leo`
and into conda environment install leo:
$ conda activate leo3912
$ pip install leo
will got some error, but is ok, can suto install these:

notice: for some reason, installed is leo-5.9, one old verion;
so means ,
now under conda environment need can call leo with hand deploy verion:
```
(conda: leo3912)
$ python /opt/bin/leo/launchLeo.py
setting leoID from os.getenv('USER'): 'zoomq'
PYLINTHOME is now '/Users/zoomq/Library/Caches/pylint' but obsolescent '/Users/zoomq/.pylint.d' is found; you can safely remove the latter

```
suggest define alias for daily,
`~/.bash_profile` add:
alias leo6lanch="python /opt/bin/leo/launchLeo.py >> /dev/null 2>&1 &"
finally start-up leo need two commands:
$ conda activate leo3912
$ leo6lanch
## Summary
> only for macOS 12.* with M1 chip
- base installed arm Homebrew, and miniconda
- usage brew install Qt and PyQt
- usage conda create environment for Leo
- ATTENTION:
+ copy PyQt packets from brew to conda an first
+ so usage pip install leo in auto
- download latest Leo from github
- finally from conda environment's Python call the `launchLeo.py`
## logging
- 220529 publish as blog
