Issue installing qiime2 2022.2 on mac with 'FoundConflicts!' error

[tperry (Tahlia)]

Hi there,

I've had an issue installing the latest version of qiime2 (2022.2) onto macOS. I've used the conda install method and tried this on two devices with the same error. Both miniconda (v4.11.0) and Python (3.9.7) are updated to the latest versions.

After running the command:
conda env create -n qiime2-2022.2 --file qiime2-2022.2-py38-osx-conda.yml

I get the following error message:
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment:
Found conflicts! Looking for incompatible packages.
This can take several minutes. Press CTRL-C to abort.
failed -

A similar issue was posted back in 2020, which appeared to be that the environment files needed to be rebuilt due to some package shuffling (Instalation qiime 2020.11 Found conflicts! Looking for incompatible packages - #9 by PatoUru).

Thanks!

Hi @tperry,

Thanks for reaching out! This is an issue we are working to resolve today - I'll follow up with you once that's taken care of, and have you try doing a fresh install to confirm things are working on your end. Thanks for your patience!

Hey @tperry,

We think we fixed the issue. You should be able to delete the old environment file (qiime2-2022.2-py38-osx-conda.yml) and download it again using the regular instructions.

And good sleuthing on the solution, that is exactly what we did
