Mfix activation problem

MFiX How to
#1

My MFix is not opening when I activate it in the anaconda. The following error is coming
(base) C:\Users\hp>activate mfix-23.1.1

(mfix-23.1.1) C:\Users\hp>mfix

#2

  1. The command should be conda activate mfix-23.1.1 (or mamba activate mfix-23.1.1 if you are using Mamba)

  2. Please upgrade to 23.2 when possible

  3. The error you posted looks like what happens when you are running MFiX remotely. In this case you may need to install VirtualGL and use the command vglrun mfix

#3

Error is coming when create the Mfix environment in conda:
UnavailableInvalidChannel: HTTP 404 NOT FOUND for channel new_channel_url https://conda.anaconda.org/new_channel_url

The channel is not accessible or is invalid.

You will need to adjust your conda configuration to proceed.
Use conda config --show channels to view your configuration’s current state,
and use conda config --show-sources to view config file locations.

#4

It seems that your Conda installation is corrupted somehow. I’ve never seen this error so I’m not sure how to fix it.

Can you try reinstalling Anaconda, or better yet try with Mambaforge? Alternate install instructions
