Baptiste – out of curiosity, what do you want to simulate in Chrono?
If you plan to run granular dynamics sims, or fluid-solid interaction, or 
terramechanics with CRM, you’ll need an NVIDIA GPU. Rewriting the CUDA stuff in 
Metal language would be a monumental task…

Subject: [chrono] Chrono Installation on M2 ARM MacOS

Hello,

After spending a lot of time on internet to find a solution and after several 
unsuccessful attempts, I'm trying my luck here.
As I have a GPU based on ARM architecture, installing Chrono isn't easy.
When I try to configure Chrono with CMake, it needs CUDA. After disabling it, 
CMake succeeds in configuring but the build with "make" informs me that Thrust 
needs CUDA in most of its files. I saw that one solution would be to rewrite 
the CUDA-dependent files using the Metal language (which replaces CUDA on ARM 
Mac GPUs).
I tried to disable Thurst from the CMake configuration as well and the "make" 
build succeeded. However, I find that the "build" directory lacks some files, 
such as Chrono.sln. I can't build a project requiring chrono either.
Is there a step-by-step process for installing Chrono correctly on an ARM Mac 
architecture?
Thanks in advance
