conda/mamba installation not working with python=3.11

[aminakur]

I tried to install hicexplorer inside a Singularity container with conda, and it didn't work due to incompatibility:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: unsuccessful initial attempt using frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: unsuccessful attempt using repodata from current_repodata.json, retrying with next repodata source.

Your installed version is: 2.31

Then following advice found here, I tried mamba:

mamba install hicexplorer -c bioconda -c conda-forge

Didn't work either.

How should I proceed?

I suggest you specify the version explicitly:

mamba create --name hicexplorer hicexplorer=3.6 python=3.8 -c bioconda -c conda-forge

[katecycho]

I also get the same error installing on conda.

`The following specifications were found to be incompatible with your system:

• feature:/osx-arm64::__osx==13.3=0
• feature:|@/osx-arm64::__osx==13.3=0
• hicexplorer=3.5 -> ipykernel[version='>=5.3.0'] -> __linux
• hicexplorer=3.5 -> ipykernel[version='>=5.3.0'] -> __osx

Your installed version is: 13.3`

I even tried to uninstall conda and re-install conda and start a fresh new environment but get the same error.

Hi,

we do not support Python 3.11 because some dependencies are not for this python version available. With the today released maintenance update 3.7.3 Python 3.8, 3.9 or 3.10 are supported.

Also consider that not all updates might be available for ARM platform. In this case please use the x86 version of conda and Rosetta2.
