Installing Qiime2 on Macbook pro

Hi, I myself have installed minconda and have been getting the the exact same error since yesterday. I have installed and uninstalled multiple times but the problem remains. I didn't have this issue with the previous miniconda version but right after I updated it, I started getting these errors. Please help as soon as possible.

Welcome to the forums @beyomi, :qiime2:

Can you provide any error messages you saw during the attempted install? Also include the version of miniconda / anaconda you are using, please!

(I've split your post into a new thread. That old one was pretty old!)

Hi. The miniconda version I have is the latest
Miniconda3 macOS Apple M1 64-bit.

Please find the error below that I get when tring to use any command on minocnda. below I only used command "conda" and got the error message below.

I also checked the arch, and it says I have arch-64, as you can see at the bottom. Hence I am not sure, how to proceed.

Thank you for that!

Are you having an issue installing Miniconda or Qiime2? That looks like an issue with conda itself.

(Conda does not need sudo, so I wonder if root is confusing stuff...)

Let me know what you try next!
