Conda env create stalls and loops indefinitely

[skercher]

Current Behavior

Conda install hangs and loops indefinitely

Steps to Reproduce

It stalls out when executing the following command: conda env create -f env.yaml

It runs correctly if you comment out conda-forge in env.yaml but it doesn't create the environment.

Expected Behavior

Conda installs all packages successfully and activates the environment without errors

Can confirm. Used https://www.anaconda.com/blog/a-faster-conda-for-a-growing-community to solve it. However, not sure if it correctly resolves the conflicts because I still experience some trouble building the environment.

Thank you @Dene33 !

Plus, following worked for me to create the environment.

(1) 'apt install cuda-11-6' (maybe needed 'apt install gcc-10 g++-10')

(2) add "gyp" to env.yaml's channels.

(3) rename directory name, "third-party" to "third_party"

I googled and fixed other bugs like numpy downgrade, 'export EGL_DEVICE_ID=1', etc., but I don't remember exactly. Sorry.

We have updated the installation instructions, so that the installation is faster. If there are still issues, we give more options for trouble-shooting in the Readme. Please let us know if you still face problems with the installation.
