2024.01.26 Release Not Installing on Intel-based Mac

[Stroke44]

I'm trying to install radioconda from an existing conda prompt on an Intel-based Mac. It has worked fine with many previous versions, but it seems that the packages cannot be found:

(base) john@Magni ~ % conda create -n radioconda -c conda-forge -c ryanvolz --only-deps radioconda Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done Solving environment: unsuccessful attempt using repodata from current_repodata.json, retrying with next repodata source. Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done Solving environment: -

[ryanvolz]

Admittedly I don't have a Mac to test this on, but I think I can simulate the environment solution with the CONDA_SUBDIR environment variable:

CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 conda create -n test -c conda-forge -c ryanvolz --only-deps radioconda

That works for me, either using conda 23.10.0 or mamba 1.5.3 in my base environment.

So this sounds like either a conda issue/bug where perhaps you need to upgrade (or even downgrade?). I think conda has moved away from using current_repodata.json for package metadata and my text output does not mention it, so probably an upgrade is needed. I'm not on the latest version though, so maybe a downgrade helps.

If having conda solve for the environment remains an issue, you should be able to bypass the solver and create the environment from a static package list using

conda create -n radioconda --file https://github.com/ryanvolz/radioconda/releases/latest/download/radioconda-osx-64.lock

I made sure my Anaconda distribution was up to date. I still had the same problem. I tried the following: conda create -n radioconda --file https://github.com/ryanvolz/radioconda/releases/latest/download/radioconda-osx-64.lock and it worked! Everything installed fine. Thank you for the suggestion!
