I'm attempting to install the arcgis conda package from esri using the following command: conda install -c esri arcgis

It fails with the following error message:

github-image/arcgis-python-api [master] » conda install -c esri arcgis
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: unsuccessful initial attempt using frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

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

  - arcgis

Current channels:

  - https://conda.anaconda.org/esri/osx-arm64
  - https://conda.anaconda.org/esri/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/osx-arm64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/osx-arm64

To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're
looking for, navigate to

    https://anaconda.org

and use the search bar at the top of the page.

I checked the anaconda.org repository and there appears to be an arcgis package located under the esri channel:

Note that Anaconda Cloud does not have osx-arm64 builds for that package. You can try installing an osx-64 version and run it in emulation mode. This will need to be in a fresh environment, e.g.,

CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 conda create -n foo -c esri arcgis

This is a similar situation to users installing older versions of Python, so you may want to additionally read Cannot install Python 3.7 on osx-arm64.
