My ultimate goal is to run the following command lines so that I can install numpy in my Mac M1 chip computer which has been problematic for many people "note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip" message when trying to install spacepy :
conda create -n <name>
conda activate <name>
conda config --env --set subdir osx-64
conda install python=3.8
However, when I run "conda config --env --set subdir osx-64"
I got this error message:
CondaValueError: Key 'subdir' is not a known primitive parameter.
So I am trying to upgrade my Conda to the latest version or at least conda 4.12.0
so that I can run --set subdir osx-64
following the instructions below
But no matter what I did,
conda update conda
conda update -n root conda
conda update -n base -c defaults conda
My conda still got stuck at conda 4.5.11
and conda config --env --set subdir osx-64
still gives me the error
CondaValueError: Key 'subdir' is not a known primitive parameter.
could some help?
