Installation error

[fconstancias]

Dear @franciscozorrilla ,

Thanks for developping those tools and alos the efforts you are putting in educating !

I am trying to install metaGEM on a apple M1 computer and I got the following error:

mamba create -n metagem -c bioconda metagem

Encountered problems while solving:

• nothing provides concoct >=1.1.0 needed by metagem-1.0.5-hdfd78af_0

any idea what is wrong here?

Thanks!

Hello! thanks for the kind words and sorry to hear you are having issues. I believe that configuring your conda channels should fix this issue, could you try running this command before re-running the mamba install command?

conda config --add channels conda-forge

[fconstancias]

Unfortunately, it did not help.

conda activate base

conda config --add channels conda-forge

mamba create -n metagem -c bioconda metagem

Looking for: ['metagem']

Thanks for trying that. Unfortunately, it is possible that the conda installation will not work on Apple machines, as I have only tested it on linux-based HPCs. I can test/troubleshoot the installation on mac once I am back at work next week :) For now (and in general) I recommend you set up metaGEM on your HPC.

Good point, thanks!

Of course it is nice to be able to install locally as well. You may have some better luck installing on osx using the alternative conda recipe file installation as described here in https://github.com/franciscozorrilla/metaGEM/blob/master/config/README.md
