QIIME2 Installation Problems, Mac

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to install QIIME2 on a new mac computer. I did a fresh miniconda installation. Then went to follow the instructions on the qiime2.org site. I am unable to create the conda environement. Below is a copy of what came up in terminal:

(base) -MacbkPro- ~ % conda env create -n qiime2-2022.8 --file qiime2-2022.8-py38-osx-conda.yml

EnvironmentNameNotFound: Could not find conda environment: qiime2-2022.8

You can list all discoverable environments with conda info --envs.

Any advice is appreciated

Hello @Anna_Zemke, we are unable to replicate this issue. Can you try running the command conda clean --all and then rerunning the command to create the environment?

There is not much information, but could it be a compatibility issue with Apple Silicon? I don't have firsthand experience, but I heard that you need to configure Rosetta 2 to emulate the x86 environment.

@hoohugokim, I believe that is correct. My Mac has an Intel chip, so I don't have any first hand experience with this, but there was a recent thread on here discussing this process, I will see if I can find it and post it here :slightly_smiling_face:

EDIT/hopefully a solution:

Okay, here is a link to the post with possible solutions that have worked for others: QIIME2 for MacBook M1 pro - #2 by SoilRotifer
