Unable to Install on Mac OS with Apple Silicon

[Zhehao97]

When I was trying to install EconML via pip command, the following errors occurred. It seems that I need to install LightGBM at the first stage, but I cannot install LightGBM python package either via pip (the error files of installing LightGBM are attached below). However, I do install LightGBM via Brew.

This appears to be related to microsoft/LightGBM#5549; hopefully someone from the LightGBM team can update that issue with a workaround.
