I am trying to setup a new Frappe project. I have installed the necessary dependencies and done the Mariadb config setup as well. But when I run bench init, it never succeeds
Setting Up Environment
$ python3 -m venv env
$ /Users/userxyz/dev/frappe_test/frappe-bench/env/bin/python -m pip install --quiet --upgrade pip
$ /Users/userxyz/dev/frappe_test/frappe-bench/env/bin/python -m pip install --quiet wheel
Getting frappe
$ git clone [GitHub - frappe/frappe: Low code web framework for real world applications, in Python and Javascript](https://github.com/frappe/frappe.git) --depth 1 --origin upstream

What is going on here? What can I do to fix it? Also I am using Apple silicon Mac.
