Cannot install python 3.6 in mac using conda

[ZisenShao]

In the installation page, it says I need to create python 3.6 environment using conda create -n spinningup python=3.6, but I couldn't find a way to install python 3.6 with conda, both defaults and conda-forge channel don't have this version. Could I use another python version instead? Or may I not use conda to create the environment?

I think the main problem is that I am using Mac M2, but the Anaconda version used in spinning up documentation is only for Mac x64, and the arm version of Anaconda does not support Python 3.6. So is there a way to use Mac arm for spinning up?

Hi, did you end up figuring this out?

I ended up using other resources for learning RL, highly recommend UCB CS285, which is open source for homework and lecture. Spinning-up could still be used for reference of papers and algorithms.

Oh, thank you for the suggestion! I ended up using various hacky solutions to set up spinningup, but the solutions didn't work reliably so I have also switched to other tutorials at this point. Spinning Up's code is pretty out of date I guess
