I'm using Anaconda Navigator and trying to install this package:

So it is on conda-forge, but when I tried to install it via Anaconda Navigator, this is what I get as output:

Channels:
 - conda-forge
 - defaults
Platform: osx-arm64
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - conda-forge::readdy

Current channels:

  - 
  - 
  - 
  - defaults

To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're
looking for, navigate to

    

and use the search bar at the top of the page.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

Using a Mac here. I created new environment in Anaconda. Then tried installing per instruction of the package developers:

conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict
conda install readdy

I also tried

conda install conda-forge::readdy

Well, in addition to a bunch of other things (pip install, using url, etc.). including updating index on Anaconda Navigator. The problem is no matter what I do, readdy isn't showing up on Anaconda Navigator's (uninstalled) packages list.

The problem is that you have

Platform: osx-arm64

while the package is only available for x64.

You can only install this if you create a x64 environment and use Rosetta for execution. As per this answer, these would be the steps you need to take:

conda create -n <new env>
conda activate <new env>
conda config --env --set subdir osx-64
conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict
conda install readdy
