linux-aarch64, Solving environment: failed

[neocat]

I am running Ubuntu 23.10 on a M2 Macbook Pro through UTM. I have difficulties installing qiime2:

wget https://data.qiime2.org/distro/amplicon/qiime2-amplicon-2024.2-py38-linux-conda.yml
conda env create -n qiime2-amplicon-2024.2 --file qiime2-amplicon-2024.2-py38-linux-conda.yml

I get an extremely long list of things that it cannot find/install/source (truncated):

Channels:
 - https://packages.qiime2.org/qiime2/2024.2/amplicon/released
 - bioconda
 - conda-forge
 - defaults
Platform: linux-aarch64
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done

Hi @neocat,

Thanks for reaching out!

It looks like the architecture of your linux container is linux-aarch64, which we don't currently provide support for. With that being said, we do support native OSX installation (instructions can be found here). Is there a particular reason you are wanting to install QIIME 2 via a virtual machine? If so, perhaps we can help you address those issues in another way. Cheers
