picrust2 installation

[WillErickson1]

Hello can I install picrust2 using this command :conda create -n picrust2 -c bioconda -c conda-forge picrust 2=2.5.2 instead of mamba create -n picrust2 -c bioconda -c conda-forge picrust2=2.5.2 because I don't have mamba on my linux. does the installation of picrust2 using conda takes too much time ?

You don't necessarily need to install mamba, and could use the conda command instead - as mentioned on the install page, though, it may take a long time. If you're trying to avoid using mamba then you could also try using the install from source instructions and replacing mamba with conda there.

Hello! If your installation process is referring to this https://github.com/picrust/picrust2/wiki/Installation

You may replace mamba with conda instead

The original code: mamba env create -f picrust2-env.yaml

Replacement Code: conda env create -n picrust2 --file picrust2-env.yaml

Hope this helps!
