Hello, I'm trying to follow these instructions to create a conda environment with this YAML file but the environment keeps getting stuck on solving.

name: p2b1
dependencies:
- python=3.7.5
- scipy=1.5.3
- keras=2.4.3
- h5py=2.10.0
- numpy=1.19.5
- tensorflow-gpu=2.2.0
- pandas=1.2.0
- scikit-learn=0.24.0
- tqdm=4.56.0
- matplotlib=3.3.3
- numba=0.52.0
- astropy=4.2
- patsy=0.5.1
- statsmodels=0.12.1.

It works when I only include numpy in the list of packages and add conda forge and defaults into the YAML file. I am using conda version 23.3.1 Any way to resolve this?

Please also provide the error messages and command line used, otherwise we can't see what is going wrong.

I used this command: conda env create -f python_environment.yml -n P2B1

And there's no error message, just that it gets stuck on solving the environment for hours until my terminal times out.

You can also try using mamba, I find it can often solve environments that base conda struggles with.

EDIT, only just noticed that it was micromamba that was suggested below as an answer, I originally misread that as miniconda.

Which system are you on? I also noticed that base conda is hardly usable anymore on our systems. In contrast, solving your environment with micromamba took 30 seconds.

It worked for me. It may just take a long time because there are a lot of dependencies to resolve. Try micromamba instead for a faster solve. And once you have the environment, export it completely into a yaml file. This should also help to speed the solving up the next time you install it.

Here is the solved environment:

To tack on this suggestion to make the solving faster, pixi is another faster way to work with conda.

Good to know, which version of conda are you using? And which channels did you use to create the environment? I may be missing a needed channel.

(p2b1) ubuntu@ubuntu-compute:~$ micromamba --version
1.5.3

I have tested this in a Ubuntu 22 LTS VM that is using the BioStar handbook bioinfo setup (insecure connection). Additional channels enabled are bioconda, R, and conda-forge, however there doesn't seem to be a package from bioconda:

 libmamba version : 1.5.3
 micromamba version : 1.5.3


 channels : https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/linux-64
                          https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/noarch

                          https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/noarch 
  platform : linux-64

I will post the full environment.
