[DFTB-Plus-User] Issue installing dftplus through mamba

[Alejandro Cañete Arche]

Dear all,

I am not able to install your software as I have a macbook rpo with the M2
chip (not intel). Therefore, these are my current conda channels available:

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


  - dftbplus


Current channels:


  - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/osx-arm64

  - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/noarch

  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/osx-arm64

  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch

  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/osx-arm64

  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/noarch


To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're

looking for, navigate to


    https://anaconda.org


and use the search bar at the top of the page.


In https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/dftbplus/files I cannot see
any  osx-arm64 architecture, only osx-64. The osx-64 architecture is for
Intel-based Macs, while osx-arm64 is for the newer Apple Silicon Macs. This
mismatch is likely the reason why I am unable to install the package
directly using conda or mamba.


As a side note, I have checked that conda and mamba are updated and that I
have the correct order of channels in my ~/.condarc file:

channels:

  - conda-forge

 - defaults

I have also tried to install it with conda install -c conda-forge dftbplus

and I (obviously) get the same error


*What do I do?*
