I recently bought a Mac and I just installed miniconda (Miniconda3 macOS Apple M1 64-bit pkg). However, when I try to install bowtie2 (conda install -c bioconda bowtie2), I get this message:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve. Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  • bowtie2

Current channels:

However, the package looks to be in bioconda:

https://anaconda.org/bioconda/bowtie2

What is the problem there? I can install other packages with no further issues.

I realized that I couldn't install it using Miniconda3 macOS Apple M1 64-bit pkg, but I could install it with the Miniconda3 macOS Intel x86 64-bit pkg...

  • You don't have to change your **base** install of Conda, only the `subdir` on the environment you create. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/72679307/570918 – merv Oct 17 '22 at 15:53
