VeSPA on Monterey M1 Mac

Hi all,

I’ve just installed VeSPA on a new Mac running Monterey (MacOS 12.3.1), following the installation instructions to first install minconda. The installation goes OK and all the dependencies are installed.

When I try to run one of the commands (say pulse) I get the following error:

This program needs access to the screen. Please run with a
Framework build of python, and only when you are logged in
on the main display of your Mac.

I’m running it with pythonw (see below), which is supposed to fix that error. Anyone else had the same problem and managed to fix it?

Cheers,

Dave
