I've looked at previous posts and I am for sure using the mac wget link with a mac computer. I also tried uninstalling miniconda altogether and reinstalling it using
bash Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh
This appeared to be successful, and I also did "conda update conda" and "conda install wget" before trying to install QIIME2-2018.11 again, but unfortunately got the same error.
I've also recently updated my mac to Mojave - would that have anything to do with it, possibly? I've never had this issue in the last 1.5 years or so using QIIME until after this update.
I am at a loss here, so thanks for all your help!!
I just did another macos install of 2018.11 today and everything worked fine --- is it possible that your institution's network firewall is causing problems?
I am a bit confused about the error message you have pasted, too, because at least one of the versions doesn't make any sense:
That should read q2-emperor=2018.11.0, so I am not sure what is happening...
How about you do the following:
Clean your conda cache (this stays around even if you delete and reinstall conda): conda clean --all
Delete the qiime2-2018.11-py35-osx-conda.yml file
Start from the beginning of the install doc (download the env fresh).
Sorry I don't have a better answer for you - keep us posted!
So I'm not sure what the problem was, but I've got it working! I literally copied the conda create command pasted above into terminal to regenerate the error, and it worked. Maybe I just needed to restart my terminal or something.
