I have searched the forum and found some discussions on bioconda and platform osx-arms64, but I'm still quite confused how I can solve my issue. Some specific guidance will be much appreciated! This plugin looks exciting and I really look forward to have a try.
Are you by chance using a Mac with an Apple Silicon chip (M1, M2, etc)? The reason I ask is because the platform conda seems to be auto-detecting on your install attempt is osx-arm64. QIIME 2 is only supported on osx-64 and linux-64. If this is the case, here's what you can do to resolve the issue (with a slightly modified install command):
This will adjust the platform to osx-64 which should allow you to install q2-boots successfully. Once the environment has been created and you've activated it, you'll want to run one additional command (this will modify your conda config to only ever use osx-64 as the platform):
conda config --env --set subdir osx-64
This should get you all sorted, but please let us know if you're still running into any issues!
