Failed to create qiime2 environment

I newly installed Miniconda in my Mac Air with M1 chip, and failed to create qiime2 environment by all means.

I tried to remove the "qiime2-2021.8-py38-osx-conda.yml" file and clean up the conda. The error was still reported as below:

Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done

Hi @Haze!

Ah, this is the issue - we don't support this architecture (because many of our dependencies don't support it - you can see them all listed out in that long list of package names). I think there is a way to install miniconda through Apple's Rosetta 2, although I'm not sure how (and I don't have an M1 mac to test it on). Please let us know what you find!
