Issues with Picrust2 Installation on M2 Macbook

[Francesco Ravaioli]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install picrust2 on my pc using conda command 

- conda create -n picrust2 -c bioconda -c conda-forge picrust2=2.5.3

but I keep getting an error message regarding epa-ng (see below).

Trying to install epa-ng separately does not work either.

Here are some additional info.

Chip:  Apple M2

ProductName:            macOS
ProductVersion:         15.2
BuildVersion:           24C101

Kernel: Darwin Kernel Version 24.2.0

conda --version

conda 24.11.0

conda config --show channels

channels:
  - bioconda
  - conda-forge
  - defaults
  - r
  - free

Can you please help me sort out which might be the problem?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Francesco

Hi Francesco,

I don't think epa-ng is ported to the M2 chip, and likely won't be in the near future (unless you or someone with an M2 to test this wants to submit a fix). Do you have access to another type of machine?

Sorry for the inconvenience, and so long
Lucas

Hi Lucas, 

Thank you for the quick reply!

Unfortunately I don't have the skill to test epa-ng on M2 technology. 

I will run the program using another machine!

Best regards and Happy Holidays!
