Hello and welcome to the forum!
Wich version of conda you are using?
Could you try to clean your conda first with this command (it will clean downloaded packages, but not affect already installed):
`conda clean --all -y`
And the try to install Qiime2 again.

thank you for the response. I tried cleaning and got this message
Cache location:
There are no tarballs to remove
WARNING: /home/parallels/.conda/pkgs does not exist
Cache location:
There are no unused packages to remove
Tried installing Qiime2 again and still get the resolve package error

Thank you Timur. I did the mini forge installation, and activated the Roseta mode but when creating a subdirectory for Qiime2 (3rd point ) it throws this error
base) umangjain@Umangs-MacBook-Pro ~ % CONDA\_SUBDIR=osx-64 conda env create -n qiime2-2021.11 --file qiime2-2021.11-py38-osx-conda.yml
SpecNotFound: Invalid name, try the format: user/package
I hope you can help me with this
