problem installing getorganelle

[phoebehagberg]

I am working in my MacOS terminal and trying to install get organelle.

when i try to install getorganelle via conda install getorganelle, i get this message:

Channels:

• conda-forge
• bioconda
• defaults
• anaconda Platform: osx-arm64 Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed

LibMambaUnsatisfiableError: Encountered problems while solving:

• nothing provides blast >=2.3 needed by getorganelle-1.6.4-pypl526_0

Could not solve for environment specs The following package could not be installed └─ getorganelle is not installable because it requires └─ blast >=2.3 , which does not exist (perhaps a missing channel).

I have tried to install blast multiple times through both the NCBI website instructions, but cant figure out a way to not get this error. any help would be appreciated.

You need to install https://anaconda.org/bioconda/blast, i.e. conda install blast. At the moment Bioconda does not provide osx-arm64 packages, so I guess conda will install the osx-64 (Intel) package and Rosetta will translate to ARM64.
