Taichi: OSX11.0.1: ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement taichi (from version: none)

Describe the bug

Recently I have changed my laptop platform to Mac OS X and found I could not install Taichi. My laptop is mbp2020 quad-i5 and system version is OSX11.0.1. I have tried python3.7/3.8 and changed the source mirror as well as upgrade pip to the latest version but not worked.

I wonder whether Taichi not support OSX11.0.1(macOS Big Sur) yet. If is, when would Taichi support it? I can't wait to write Taichi code :P

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm pretty sure Taichi release bot doesn't support the latest macOS yet. Sorry about that, we should upgrade this asap.
