Issue creating conda environment on Mac M1

[salvaRC]

I'm trying to create a conda environment by running:
make create_environment
This is on a Mac with M1 Max chip.
The full error I get is the following:

>>> make create_environment
git submodule sync --recursive
Synchronizing submodule url for 'external/fv3gfs-fortran'
Synchronizing submodule url for 'external/fv3gfs-fortran/.jenkins/env'
Synchronizing submodule url for 'external/fv3gfs-fortran/serialbox'
git submodule update --init \
                external/fv3gfs-fortran \

mkdir -p /Users/salvar/.config/matplotlib
rm -f /Users/salvar/.config/matplotlib/matplotlibrc
cp external/fv3viz/matplotlibrc /Users/salvar/.config/matplotlib/
bash .environment-scripts/build_environment.sh fv3net
+ CONDA_ENV=fv3net
++ conda info --base
+ CONDA_BASE=/Users/salvar/miniconda3
+ case $(uname) in
++ uname
+ case $(uname -m) in
++ uname -m
++ uname -m
++ uname
+ echo 'arm64 on Darwin unsupported, quitting'
arm64 on Darwin unsupported, quitting
+ exit 1
make: *** [create_environment] Error 1

Thanks for reporting @salvaRC . We have a fix for this particular issue, but it is failing due to another (unrelated) issue, so if it is working for you to use your VM with fv3net env for now we may wait and come back to this later.
