    Hi folks, I have the same error.

    I set up miniconda following your instructions and added bioconda. Here are my commands:

    bash ./Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
    conda config --add channels defaults
    conda config --add channels conda-forge
    conda config --add channels bioconda
    
    #but this hangs for a long time:
    conda  create -n mageck-vispr mageck-vispr
    Solving environment: \ 
    

    I'll let this run over the weekend in case it is just super slow.

    EDIT: This completed over the weekend for me. Not sure why it took at least a few hours.

    I'm also experiencing this issue on a fresh install.

    I was able to install vispr with conda install --channel bioconda vispr.

    You have to add the following to the .condarc configuration file in your home directory. This error has to do with various R packages in miniconda, and is not specific to mageck-vispr. I'm not sure that ALL the below are necessary, but all were suggested on various forums, and the installation works for me on Mac OSx

    channels:
      - bioconda
      - conda-forge
      - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/free/linux-64
      - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/free/noarch
      - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/pro/linux-64
      - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/pro/noarch
      - nodefaults
    default_channels:
      - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main
