Very long time to create snakemake environment?

Hi there,

It takes almost one week to create an environment to run snakemake, and does not finish yet. Is that normal or something wrong?
Thanks.

Best regards,

Hi Ming.

That doesn't sound right. If you're still struggling with this I'd recommend you first try using mamba, which is a drop-in replacement for the conda command and brings many optimisations and speed-ups. After installing you can try to run mamba create -n snakemake_env -c bioconda -c conda-forge snakemake and see if things improve.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will try it.
