I'm trying to install ambertools22 in ubuntu in wsl2. I installed conda in wsl2 and started to follow the general process of installing ambertools22. It's been about 2 hours now, but still the installation is at the solving environment stage.
May I know if it's normal to take quite a lot of time for installing?
Thank you.
The installation time of AmberTools22 on Ubuntu Linux in WSL2 can vary depending on several factors, such as the speed of your computer and the complexity of the environment you are trying to install. However, two hours for solving the environment stage seems like a long time.
You may want to check if there are any error messages or warnings in the terminal that could explain the slow progress. Additionally, you can try to increase the speed of the installation process by running the installation in parallel using the --jobs option followed by the number of cores available on your computer. For example, if you have 4 cores, you can use the following command to run the installation in parallel:
css
Copy code
conda install ambertools=22 --channel ambertools --jobs 4
It is also worth checking that you have enough free space on your computer, as Ambertools22 requires a significant amount of disk space to install.
If the installation still takes a long time or seems to be stuck, you can try cancelling the installation and starting over again. Sometimes, a fresh installation can resolve any issues that may have occurred during the initial installation attempt.
In summary, while the installation time for Ambertools22 can vary, two hours seems like a long time for the "solving environment" stage. You may want to investigate potential issues with your installation, such as error messages or warnings, and try running the installation in parallel using the --jobs option if possible.
Navoda Wijesuriya In addition to Houssem Eddine Lassoued 's excellent answer, if it's stuck in 'solving environment' and not actually building things, this is usually due to one of two causes: Conda doesn't have updated certificates/library indexes --> update conda first. (I've had hangs like this > 2-3 hours, eventually failing).
Second cause could be that your environment isn't compatible with the dependencies of the tool you want to install. In that case consider creating an issue on the github of the package in question.
If you have it installed somewhere else, consider `conda-pack` to export, rather than install from scratch https://conda.github.io/conda-pack/
You can also test on online services such as Circle-CI (free for open source projects) to ensure that your instructions to build your project work everywhere. https://circleci.com/
