Cannot even start installation of biobakery workflows on Mac M1

Hi there,
have python 2.7 and biobakery in the top list but still getting error about Requested package → Available versions. Any clue why it so?
max@maxs-Mac-mini ~ % conda install -c biobakery biobakery_workflows

Sorry I do not have a solution to you problem. I have a more general question on the topic. Are the two programs, KneadData and HUMANN3 compatible with the new Mac M1 or M1 Max chips in new MacBooks that have replaced the old Intel chips?

Hello, Have you tried installing the conda package with python 3? It might make it easier for conda to resolve the conflicts that it is seeing in python 2.7 on the Mac M1.

Thanks!

Hello @Guy , Both programs should be compatible with the new chips. Neither program was developed on a specific architecture. They should both work on various platforms including Mac, Linux, and Windows.

Thanks!
