Any thoughts regarding what could be going on here? Are you able to create an environment using the above command? If so, what's your condarc?

Hello,

Please, take a look at conda docs, there is no flag -f available, you should use --file to build env from YAML.
It is also explicitly mentioned in QIIME2 Install section.

Cheers,
V

I did that with -f in the original command. -f is the shortcut version of the --file flag. I’ve installed this way in the past and it worked perfectly. I’m wondering if it could be something to do with the GenomeInfoDbData dependency.

Hi @jolespin,

I would try running conda clean --all in case there's anything weird going on with your conda env.

Trying it now:

(base) conda clean --all -y
Will remove 9 (124 KB) tarball(s).
Will remove 1 index cache(s).
Will remove 9 (478 KB) package(s).

Running the following command:

conda env create -n test-qiime2_env -f qiime2-2022.11-py38-linux-conda.yml 2> qiime2-2022.11-py38-linux-conda.yml.e 1> qiime2-2022.11-py38-linux-conda.yml.o

I'll update in a few hours when it's done.

Can you confirm that a fresh installation works for you in a test environment? This will help me diagnose whether or not it's my (cleaned) environment or not.

Edit:
Just finished the run and it worked. No clue what happened to my installation but maybe I had some broken packages that didn't finish downloading?

Thanks for your help!

Could you link this forum out to the original GitHub issue? It's locked so I can't do it.

Hi @jolespin,
I am glad that solution worked for you.
However, I don't think its appropriate to link this to the Github issue you opened, we like to direct all user questions or technical support to the forum that way all answers can be found in one place and not spread all over our Github.
