Hi, and thanks for reaching out!

Your best bet here will be to use Rosetta 
(https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861) to run Intel osx64 code on your M2, 
as Python 3.7 is not readily available on Apple Silicon machines. If you're 
using conda, this is relatively low-stress:

  conda create -n py37
  conda activate py37
  conda config --env --set subdir osx64
  conda install -c conda-forge python==3.7 netcdf4

I am using an M2 Macbook Pro, and was able to successfully create the 
environment above. If you can't use conda, this process might be more 
complicated.

Let me know if this works, and please follow up if you have any additional 
questions! I hope this helps.


All the best,

Drew
