Issue or question about MOOSE

I want to install MOOSE on my Mac (M2) for the first time. I faced this error. How can I solve this problem?
Channels:

• https://conda.software.inl.gov/public
• defaults
  Platform: osx-arm64
  Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
  Solving environment: failed

LibMambaUnsatisfiableError: Encountered problems while solving:

• nothing provides livereload needed by moose-tools-2024.05.02-hd1db04d_0

Could not solve for environment specs
The following package could not be installed
└─ moose-dev 2024.05.13** is not installable because it requires
└─ moose-tools 2024.05.02.* , which requires
└─ livereload, which does not exist (perhaps a missing channel).

This may be due to using a version of Conda that which does not by default support the conda-forge channel (Anaconda's 'Miniconda' implementation for example).

Try running the following conda commands to add the appropriate channels, and the necessary attributes to make use of these channels:

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --add channels https://conda.software.inl.gov/public  # you'll probably get a warning about moving this to the top.
conda config --set channel_priority strict

And then try to install moose-dev once more.

I encountered the same issue and the issue was solved by following these steps. Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. It worked. When I wanted to run an example, I faced:

How can I solve it?

Hello

If you have built libmesh then you should export the LIBMESH_DIR environment variable

Use the folder where you built libmesh

I can run examples from MOOSE directory but when I try to run my code it says: How can I solve this problem?

Hello You need to recompile with the phase field module I think You add this in the makefile

[GiudGiud]

Unfortunately you do need to clean the repo and recompile between having it set to 'no' and set to 'yes'

so

cd ~/projects/<name of the app>
git commit -am "saving everything"
git clean -xfD
make -j 6

[DavoodZivar]

Thanks for your help. I sat it to 'no' and then ran the comments you provided, then I sat it again to 'yes' and again ran the provided comments. After that, still the error is there. Was what I did correct?

[GiudGiud]

Weird.
You could try cleaning moose too, not that it should be needed.

cd ~/projects/moose
git clean -xfd
cd ~/project/your_app
make -j 6

Else a fresh clone could help.

[DavoodZivar]

After several trials, I could add phase field module. Now, I need to add solid mechanics as well but I was not enable to it. I tried previous comments that you suggested but it did not work. No phase filed module works but solid mechanics no!
Can you help me with this?

[GiudGiud]

hello

the procedure is the same for both modules.
once added in the makefile, you commit that, then clean everything, then re-build
