I deleted the miniconda3 three times and repeat again on [Natively installing QIIME 2 — QIIME 2 2022.2.0 documentation](https://docs.qiime2.org/2022.2/install/native/)
Can you help me for installing the qiime2 on my mac?

Hi @Juneyoung_Lee, welcome to :qiime2:!
In order to install and run conda & QIIME on an M1 mac you need to select the Terminal application, then press Command-I, to bring up the Terminal application information window. Check the box "Open using Rosetta". Then close / restart the Terminal app if needed.
Then install the regular version of OS X conda, _not_ the M1 version. then everything should work as expected. At least this is all I needed to do to get it working on my laptop.
-Mike

@SoilRotifer I'm getting the same issue though on a 2019 Mac Pro with the Intel processor. I am using my (updated) existing anaconda build. Is that likely to cause a problem?

Hard to say unless I can see the error messages. If you are seeing `osx-arm64` or something similar in your error messages, then you've simply installed the wrong version of conda.

I did same way that you recommended!
Conda osx is working on terminal with rosetta model! Thank you!
However, qiime2 is not installed and the conflict issue is still repeated. Hm.. I don't know what is the problem.

@SoilRotifer anaconda works great. I use it all the time, the error I'm getting is the same as Juneyoung.
"Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done

What I was wondering was if there was any issue using the full anaconda installation as opposed to Miniconda?

Looks like your issues may be resolved over in this thread:

With intel chip, install regular mini-anaconda or anaconda.
If some issue arises, try the command line " conda env create -n qiime2-2022.2 --file..." some times more.
It will works.
