Hello, I meet a question that I can not download the blast package in my virtual environment. There is no available channel for me to download the blast package.
After I type the command “conda install blast”, the screenshot of my terminal is as followings:
Thank you for checking this.
Hello,
Thank you for your questions.
Looking at the channels you are trying to pull from, I can determine that your system is a MacOS computer operating system with an ARM64 chip.
Looking at the Blast package on Bioconda’s channel in the link below. They only support packages that are for linux-64, MacOS Intel 64, and linux-aarch64.
https://anaconda.org/bioconda/blast
I did however find a package called blast-legacy that might be a good alternative to used. I will include the package information below from Anaconda.org. Let me know if you have any questions.
