Install stuck on "solving environment", followed install instructions.

I am attempting to install traffic with conda. I have followed the instructions on the installation page on the github. conda create -n traffic -c conda-forge python=3.9 traffic conda activate traffic However, the install gets stuck on solving environment. It will stay like this for some time, maybe over an hour.

I have tried to install traffic with pip (in a fresh env), and was able to install it, but I got lots of version errors when importing. I ended up downgrading maybe a dozen or so packages, but was unable to successfully import traffic.

I have not been able to find this same problem for traffic anywhere.

Should I: Just let the “solving environment” in the cmd line run for an extended period of time? Some process as described in the below link? https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/9367 Some other way?

Thanks for your help!

I am posting this in the hopes this will be helpful to someone else. I have successfully installed traffic! The first thing I tried is conda config --set channel_priority disabled This did not help. I next tried to install mamba. Installing with conda install mamba -n base -c conda-forge did not work, I got The environment is inconsistent, please check the package plan carefully and it ran in the cmd for hours before I canceled. I next tried conda update --all and let it run overnight. This finished. I then installed mamba with the windows installer on github. I installed traffic with mamba (following the directions on traffics github). Traffic installed in about 5 minutes, and imports sucessfully. On a side note, I am impressed with how fast mamba is. Looking forward to working with traffic!
