Trouble installing qiime2 - Solving environment: failed

Hi everyone,

I'm having some trouble with installing Qiime2 2024.5 and been reading up on some issues others are having. Im running WSL and getting some errors when it comes to solving environment which I havent had before, but I havent seen a post with these errors. Below is what the terminal is telling me:

conda env create -n qiime2-amplicon-2024.5 --file https://data.qiime2.org/dist
ro/amplicon/qiime2-amplicon-2024.5-py39-linux-conda.yml

Not sure what this "package X is excluded by strict repo priority" means - any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi @Matthewgordon,

I was able to find this forum post regarding the "strict repo priority". Try the suggestion there and see if that helps!
