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).

Diagnostics for MOOSE installation issues

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.

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

Hello

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

Use the folder where you built libmesh
