MetaPhlAn v4.2.3 installation errors

Hi,

I’m trying to install metaphlan v4.2.3 from conda and am getting the below error:

ERROR conda.core.link:_execute(945): An error occurred while installing package ‘bioconda::bioconductor-genomeinfodbdata-1.2.13-r44hdfd78af_0’.

My install command is: conda install -n metaphlan -c conda-forge -c bioconda python=3.10 metaphlan=4.2.3

Could you recommend an alternate version? Is 4.2.2 still available?

Thank you!

Eventually got it to work by doing this
```
mamba create -n metaphlan -y python=3.11 pip
conda activate metaphlan
pip install -U pip wheel
pip install metaphlan==4.2.3
```

Hi @susbus,

what worked for me is not specifying the python version or putting metaphlan before python because that affects the way Conda starts the dependency resolution process.

e.g. conda create -n metaphlan -c conda-forge -c bioconda metaphlan=4.2.3

or conda create -n metaphlan -c conda-forge -c bioconda metaphlan=4.2.3 python=3.10
