Need help installing on a Windows PC

Technical Support

Hi,
I guess I might have a similar problem using Windows 10 and miniconda3. When I try to create the environment as recommended in the qiime2 installation guide (conda env create -n qiime2-2021.8 --file qiime2-2021.8-py38-linux-conda.yml) I get the following message:

Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done

Could you please help me to solve this issue on my Windows PC?

Hi @Lisa, I moved this post over to its own thread since the answer here is quite a bit different than the post you originally replied to.

It sounds like you aren't using WSL - is that the case? We don't support native Windows installations, you have to use a tool like WSL, more details are here: Installing QIIME 2 using WSL — QIIME 2 2021.8.0 documentation

Thank you for your fast reply and sorry for posting it in the wrong thread. You're right, but when I try to use WSL I get the following error, although my internet connection is fine, which is why I've tried to do it differently:
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): failed

CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url https://conda.anaconda.org/qiime2/label/r2021.8/linux-64/repodata.json

An HTTP error occurred when trying to retrieve this URL.
HTTP errors are often intermittent, and a simple retry will get you on your way.

Thank you for helping me!

Hi @Lisa,

@thermokarst will be out of office for the rest of the week - he'll get back to you sometime next week!

After what felt like 100 tries, I've finally managed to install qiime2 using wsl ( Ubuntu 20.04). I used the following commands (https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/9746):
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-4.7.12.1-Linux-x86_64.sh
and bash Miniconda3-4.7.12.1-Linux-x86_64.sh
Seems like I needed a previous conda release...

Thank you for your help! :slight_smile:
