I am trying to install TensorFlow on my M1 Mac. The readme for apple's tensorflow_macos repo specifies installing python 3.8 using Xcode Command Line Tools. I currently have the latest version of Xcode Command Line Tools installed but am lost on how to install python 3.8 using those tools. If anyone has any guidance I would be extremely grateful! Thanks!

This post may be useful and should give you what you need:

How to install TensorFlow 2.X on Mac OS (Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave) without Anaconda?

Also you can ensure that you have commandline tools installed by doing this from a terminal window:

xcode-select --install

Finally, be sure you create a virtual environment to work in - the post above should help - this will allow you to install various versions of python, etc without clobbering system installed versions. Good luck
