cutadapt: Cutadapt not being downloaded from Bioconda

I am unable to install cut adapt v 4.2 from Conda. I am using MacBook Air M1 16 GB, on MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 conda version = 22.11.1 python version = 3.10.8 Bioconda, Conda-forge and defaults channels are added.

the command I’m using is: conda install -c bioconda cutadapt

I get the following error: `Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  • cutadapt `

I have check on the bioconda website online, and cutadapt is present there. However, I am unable to download. I have downloaded cutadapt using brew install cutadapt, but it only installs cutadapt 3.4

Attaching screenshot of the error

@rhpvorderman I tried the virtualenv my_virtualenv command, but it says ‘command not found’ So I proceeded on to directly use pip install cutadapt on my base environment without creating another environment for it. It was successfully downloaded, and is working! thanks for your suggestion.

Many, many thanks to @marcelm for solving this issue, and to @HrishikeshHard for summarizing the process so nicely! I have been stuck with this same problem all morning, and am so relieved to learn how I can keep using Bioconda packages on my M1 computer. Thanks!
