Error installing in M3 Mac

Sequoia V15.3.2
conda

having issue installing qime-amplicon used both silcon/intel

Hi @gkiran,

Given your screen shots... it appears you might have installed the intel version via miniconda? You may need to right click on the Terminal icon in the Applications/Utilities folder and select "Get Info". Then check the "Open using Rosetta" option. Then try installing again. Assuming you've not already done this.

If you already have, then you should not need to apply the CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 and the conda config --env --set subdir osx-64 commands. That is, you can actually install via the "Intel route", if using Rosetta.

Otherwise, if you want to keep an ARM native approach than I'd suggest installing miniforge instead. See here, and here. Then install using the Apple Silicon install instructions for QIIME 2.

Just an FYI, I have miniforge installed on my M1 and M4 macs, and I installed QIIME 2 using the Apple Silicon instructions. When I run conda info and the following lines of note are different from your screen shot:

...
virtual packages : __archspec=1=m1
...
platform : osx-arm64
...
channel URLs : https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/osx-arm64
...

Hi I tried the both methods and none of them work for me.
i'll just list my steps correct me where i am wrong...

  1. install miniconda 3/ i did bothe intel/silicon miniforge too
  2. enable. rosetta mode
  3. install qiime2amplicon did both silicon/intel
    i was able to install the pathogenome distro ....
    ...what should be the actual output on these
    ...
    virtual packages : __archspec=1=m1
    ...
    platform : osx-arm64
    ...
    channel URLs : conda-forge/osx-arm64
    ...

If you are using mini-forge for Apple Silicon, then you need to disable Rosetta. Close and reopen the terminal.
