+Special notes on Apple Silicon intalls
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Due to some dependencies not being available via pip, there is a bit of a hacky work around for Apple Silicon installs (M1 or M2 ARM64 architecture machines - if you aren't sure, try `uname -p` in a terminal and see if it returns arm).  Specifically the cadquery-ocp dependency fails to resolve at install time.  The error looks something like this:
+
+.. doctest::
+
+	└[~]> python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/gumyr/build123d
+	Collecting git+https://github.com/gumyr/build123d
+	...
+	INFO: pip is looking at multiple versions of build123d to determine which version is compatible with other requirements. This could take a while.
+	ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement cadquery-ocp~=7.7.0a0 (from build123d) (from versions: none)
+	ERROR: No matching distribution found for cadquery-ocp~=7.7.0a0
+
+A procedure for avoiding this issue is to install in a conda environment, which does have the missing dependency (substituting <YOUR ENVIRONMENT NAME> for the environment name you want to use for this install):
+
+.. doctest:: 
+
+	conda create -n <YOUR ENVIRONMENT NAME> python=3.10
+	conda activate <YOUR ENVIRONMENT NAME>
+	conda install -c cadquery -c conda-forge cadquery=master
+	pip install --no-deps git+https://github.com/gumyr/build123d svgwrite svgpathtools anytree scipy
+	pip install --no-deps ocp_tessellate webcolors==1.12 numpy numpy-quaternion cachetools==5.2.0
+	pip install --no-deps ocp_vscode requests orjson urllib3 certifi
