Hey, Thank you very much! I had tried that yesterday  (among the many other things I could try/knew how to try) after posting here. But that also generated extact same error as posted above. I think(it may be basic and I am still not sure) the packages which work for `OSX64` may not work for `aarch64`/`arm64` and that is why I am not able to use this streamline way of installation. Although I also came across, separate channel on conda `nanoporetch` who have stated many packages for `aarch64`, just one or two versions behind. So, I am still in dilemna what to do!  Use the older versions or ...

infact I am not able to install the packages with `noarch` tag. Now, I am not sure weather this is a trivial information to know how to work around these packages or this is something which will take time in developing.

@prekij if there's no available package, you will probably have to compile it yourself for the architecture :/

Try the following
conda install bioconda::ncbi-amrfinderplus

The above does work I tested it (below). There could be an issue with you version of conda (24.1.2 OSX).
Also has the package has been ported for GPU(?) ... I assume it is, otherwise it's obviously not going to work and conda will not install it
However, if it ported for GPU and still fails use mamba (I don't use mamba BTW), because it is very slow and that could be where the error is (unusually slow).
My connection initially was unsuccessful but resolved via

There is a blast gpu and I'd assume the other library/packages have gpu versions. There's a lot of Perl code there BTW, so it's an old package, before NVIDIA was big perhaps?

If there is a GPU compliant channel on conda (nanoporetch) - that is impressive: especially given the amount of Perl code. Porting for GPU from CPU isn't trivial.

Few versions behind

The key thing is whether the upgrades are fixing bugs or refactoring/adding functionality. If it's the latter then I would go  for it because the GPU would compensate for the slower runtime (obviously given you don't need the extra functionality).
