The ever-changing Mac platforms are a problem.

I have recently (as in a few days ago) rewritten the installation instructions to use micromamba installer.

Micromamba is a standalone variant of conda/mamba that is more robust.

Give micromamba a go but always use the Intel x86_64 version of it. Bioinformatics software is only compiled for Intel and always needs to be run in emulation.

This week a cohort of new students will go through the book and as such the various pitfalls will come out and hopefully get correct.

Hi, same problem here with a similar error message. Fortunately, I have a Windows PC and working ok with Ubuntu. Let me know if you solve it.

Thanks,

We went through the installation with a cohort of 30 students. Half had fairly new Apple laptops.

In all cases where we had troubles (and that was about 3 people), the problem was always that installation instructions were not followed strictly or that the student already had another version of conda (sometimes anaconda or miniconda) already installed.

Make sure to activate bash, install the dependencies on MacOS, and so on.

Installing micromamba is not bioinformatics-related task and as far as I know, tens of thousands of people use it successfully on M2. Basically what I am saying here is that to best of my knowledge it works well.

Thanks a lot,
I see the problem. I have anaconda3 already installed which may be creating the problem. Will remove it and try again.
Thanks again

if you have anaconda you might want to try using that instead of micromamba it might work,

or start invoking micromamba directly to bypass the existing setup, invoke it as:

~/bin/micromamba

these tools are very similar but can compete with one another

You have installed the incorrect version of micromamba, make sure to follow the manual.

You have to install the Intel based micromamba even on the M1 processor.

It will work seamlessly and just fine. Bioinformatics software is available only for Intel based Macs and will run in emulation mode on M1.

You will need to uninstall then follow the book closely.

curl http://data.biostarhandbook.com/uninstall.sh | bash

then do the installation again
