Installation fails for python 3.10

[LilithHafner]

Executing python3.10 -m pip install mecab-python3 produces the error

Collecting mecab-python3
  Using cached mecab-python3-1.0.6.tar.gz (77 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done
Installing collected packages: mecab-python3
  DEPRECATION: mecab-python3 is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

@LilithHafner you need to install mecab using Homebrew (brew install mecab). After this all should work. See #6377

[LilithHafner]

Lovely, that works. Thank you.

Ideally, it would be possible to install this package with pip alone but if that is not possible, a hint such as the one you gave here would be much preferable to the current error "No such file or directory: 'mecab-config'"

[titu1994]

Agreed. We're looking into if we can safely update NeMo requirements to do this automatically

[titu1994]

This is a mac specific issue sadly there is no way to update pip to install something from homebrew for Mac
