[JOSS Review] Errors with Mac Installation

[gbouras13]

Re openjournals/joss-reviews#6062

On my Macbook M1 I tried this:

git clone https://github.com/kdm9/Acanthophis.git
mamba env create -f environment-setup.yml -n acanthophis-demo
conda activate acanthophis-demo
pip install -U acanthophis # confirmed v0.3.0 was installed 
cd Acanthophis/tests
 
acanthophis-init .
 
snakemake --snakefile Snakefile.generate-rawdata -j 8 --use-conda

This all ran no problems at all.

I then ran

snakemake snakemake -j 8 --use-conda --conda-frontend mamba

which errored:

Whie a different error, this is the same fundamental issue as #14, closing to avoid duplicating discussion
