Error installing API python esri arcgis on Apple MacBook Pro M2 chip with conda

Hi,

I'm trying to install the python esri arcgis api on a MacBook Pro M2 chip with conda, command:

conda install -c esri arcgis

and I got this error: 

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

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

I founded this post, but this is not a solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74009106/cant-install-esri-arcgis-thorugh-conda-on-macos-m1

Have any ideas?

Thanks

Hi there. By following the ideas on this page, I was able to install the X86 version of the ArcGIS API for Python on my M2 MacBook Pro. I used HomeBrew to install Miniforge.
