Thanks @uria & @Miguelcs - `conda-forge` removed a handful of packages, leaving the environment files in a bad place. We just released updated versions of the environment files, so you should be able to install with more success 🤞. In the meantime, we are working hard on building up a new install solution that will circumvent these problems when `conda-forge` removes packages from their conda channel. Stay tuned, and thanks for reporting in! 🦖
