Hi all,

I tried to setup tutor dev environment on my new Macbook M4 which uses the latest m4 ARM based chip.

I am facing this issue during the setup

the setup is stuck on run npm webpack

Did anyone face the same issue? Could anyone help me to fix this issue please?

@duraiganesh0 I run the tutor devstack on M4 and have not faced this issue, can you please elaborate on the steps you followed and provide the complete error log?

Hi @farhaanbukhsh,

These are the steps I tried

mkdir devstack_ulmo
cd devstack_ulmo/
python3.12 -m venv tutor-venv
source tutor-venv/bin/activate
pip install “tutor[full]”
tutor --version
export TUTOR_ROOT=/Users/ganesh/tutor
export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64
tutor dev launch

How much RAM have you given to docker? You can check this in your docker dashboard. You can try increasing the RAM there and try again.

5

I have given 24GB out of 48. Isn’t it enough?

6

Can you try just building openedx-dev image using tutor images build openedx-dev

7

ok. Trying tutor images build openedx-dev now

Still the same issue. Its stuck there

 => CACHED [production 31/37] RUN npm run compile-sass -- --skip-themes                                             0.0s

When you say stuck, how long is it frozen there? I have see that particular step take a while to complete. So, if it’s under 5mins, maybe wait 10-15mins to see if the stage completes.

However, it says CACHED, so I am a little confused. Try tutor images build openedx-dev --no-cache and see if that completes.

I dont know what changed but its working now. Just ran that again and it worked. Thanks everyone for your replies.
