Proposed Changes

The psycopg2-binary python package fails to install on macOS 12.5 on ARM64 aka Apple Silicon aka M1 processor

$ sw_vers
ProductName:	macOS
ProductVersion:	12.5
BuildVersion:	21G72

(netbox) $ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Collecting psycopg2-binary
  Using cached psycopg2-binary-2.9.3.tar.gz (380 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1

Proposed work-around.

$ pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ psycopg2-binary==2.9.3
(netbox) $ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

https://test.pypi.org is a separate instance of the Python Package Index that allows you to try distribution tools and processes without affecting the real index.

The official documentation does not address installation on macOS. Additionally, this seems like something you should raise with the package's maintainers.

@basictheprogram commented on GitHub (Aug 9, 2022):

Just trying to make it easier for potential NetBox developers on macOS to setup a development environment.

Splitting hairs, but it's not really an installation, for production, documentation change. It's creation of a NetBox development environment on arm64 macOS.

There are many (many) posts, threads, requests to the package maintainers to get a psycopg2-binary wheel for arm64 macOS.

Issue is here for other arm64 macOS developers to find when they stumble upon the problem.
