Hello,
I just got a new computer (MacBook Pro M1 2021) and am trying to install Qiime2 2022.2 with conda. When I run:
conda env create -n qiime2-2022.2 --file qiime2-2022.2-py38-osx-conda.yml
I get:

Hey Zach,
I've also got an M1 mac and, unfortunately, bioconda does not ship native builds for the osx-arm64 processors inside of these things.
Here's the workaround we have right now:
> [@Install QIIME2 on Macbook Pro 2021 with apple M1 Chip](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/install-qiime2-on-macbook-pro-2021-with-apple-m1-chip/21492):

> Install miniforge3; Set the Terminal app to run under rosetta mode; Use the command line below to install qiime2 with the library link to osx-64 for intel Chip; CONDA\_SUBDIR=osx-64 conda env create -n qiime2-2021.11 --file qiime2-2021.11-py38-osx-conda.yml After qiime2 installation, a dialogue will show and suggests to install x-run. Please choose "yes"; Use the command line below to activate the qiime2 environment and set the library link to the intel chip subdirectory; cond…

The future looks bright: lots of software run great on the new Apple silicon and conda-forge already [ships native osx-arm64 builds](https://conda-forge.org/blog/posts/2020-10-29-macos-arm64/).
