new users cannot install amptk properly, please help

[sihaotchen]

Hi there,

I am new to this package, when I try to install amptk from conda, I had no luck.. could anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

First, I created a new bioconda environment from conda navigator, and then add the channels in order which is default(already there), bioconda, and conda-forge. Then, I update channels.

Then, I try to search amptk from conda navigator search packages box, I searched amptk and applied, then it show errors as :

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be incompatible with each other: Output in format: Requested package -> Available versions

In the end, I tried pip install amptk in the console of spyder which is in the bioconda environment. It seems worked (many lines of texts.. but ending with fail to...) but when I try pip list, I couldnt find amptk..

Could anyone help me point out what should I do to properly install amptk?

my python version is 3.7 using spyder under the condition of conda.

Thank you so much,
Sihao

it is weird that I add channels in the order of defaults, bioconda, and conda-forge... the updated channel then showed an order of this screenshot.

I also looked into the conda install amptk from a previous post, it prompts errors as follows:

(Bioconda) C:\Users\sihao.chen20>conda install amptk

Is it because a conflict of conda version? so before the installation, I updaed conda?

I would be very surprised if it works in windows. It has never been tested on windows (at least by me) so likely there is a dependency or two that do not have packages for windows and therefore isn't solving. You can use the docker version though.

Hi Jon,

Anyhow, thanks for your reply, and could you please share a resource or two with me about how to use docker version.. I am a beginner user but can read and follow instructions /sad

thanks again,
