WSL2 install q2 error

WSL2 install q2 error

I was trying to install q2 on WSL, then I run into the following error:

(base) arno@Arno:~$ conda env create
--name qiime2-amplicon-2025.7
--file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qiime2/distributions/refs/heads/dev/2025.7/amplicon/released/qiime2-amplicon-ubuntu-latest-conda.yml
Channels:

  • released
  • conda-forge
  • bioconda
  • defaults
    Platform: linux-64
    Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
    Solving environment: failed

LibMambaUnsatisfiableError: Encountered problems while solving:

  • package deblur-1.1.1-pyhdfd78af_0 requires sortmerna 2.0, but none of the providers can be installed

Could not solve for environment specs
The following package could not be installed
└─ deblur =1.1.1 * is not installable because it requires
└─ sortmerna ==2.0 *, which conflicts with any installable versions previously reported.

I appreciate any help!

Hello Arno,

Welcome to the forums!

Looks like this is the same as this issue.

Try:

conda config --set channel_priority flexible

then install Qiime2 again!
