Issue Installing Bowtie2 and Samtools on Mac M2

Question

I am trying to install NGS analysis packages (bowtie2, samtools, etc) into mamba environments on my Mac M2, but am facing issues.

I am installing as follows:

    mamba activate myenv
    mamba install -c bioconda bowtie2

And I am getting the same error as described above:

    Could not solve for environment specs
    The following package could not be installed
    └─ bowtie2   does not exist (perhaps a typo or a missing channel).

I have the same issue with samtools. But many other packages are installing just fine.

I believe this is an issue with my M2, because when I do the exact same process on my lab's linux server (installing into mamba environment), it works without any issue. Thank you!
