Stuck at "solving enviroment"

[msanchezr99]

I tried to update conda, install a package and update the anaconda navigator and none of them worked. The prompt stays forever saying solving enviroment. I read a past thread on the subject and followed the instructions of removing and adding the forge channel (honestly do not really know what a channel is here) and nothing has worked. I also uninstalled (with the uninstall.exe because I can not install clean from prompt), reinstalled it and still does not work.

What exact command have you used to try and install it? Also, you mention uninstall.exe. Is this maybe a Windows computer?

I have used conda update conda, conda uptade anaconda-navigator, and this is what it show

conda update conda Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source. Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source. Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed

The last statement is failed because I stoped it. It stays in the process indefintely. Yes, I am on Windows 10.

These are not the installation instructions. Please check the ReadMe for details. Also, SqueezeMeta works only in Linux. This is also documented. I strongly recommend that you get access to a Linux machine. Otherwise, get either WSL2 for windows or a virtual machine with Linux installed.

Do you mean the installation of Anaconda? I just downloaded it from the webpage. I followed the default configuration. I am sorry if I do not follow you closely here.

I mean the installation of SqueezeMeta. For questions about installing anaconda, refer to their forum and/or documentation. But as I said, SqueezeMeta won't work in your windows computer, even if you manage to install anaconda there.
