Bowtie2 - Can't even get it to install! #447

Open VariablePlant7 opened 9 months ago

VariablePlant7 commented 9 months ago

I'm pretty new to programming. I've taken an intro python class, one stats class that used R, and now I am learning linux to be able to handle NGS data.

I am curious about being able to do NGS data analysis on my computer at home (2019 MacBook Pro) can I use bowtie on my computer? I downloaded anaconda and launched terminal through the app and tried "conda install -c bioconda bowtie2" it keeps saying something like this...

DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:https://repo.anaconda.com:443 "GET /pkgs/r/osx-64/current_repodata.json HTTP/1.1" 304 0 done Solving environment: \

Is there a simpler way to install bowtie 2 and use it, or do I have to use anaconda? I read something about having to downgrade to an old anaconda and python, but I'd prefer not to have to do that (unless that's something I will have to do in the future if I continue with programming"

Hello,

See issue #444 for suggestions or you can download a pre-built bowtie2 package from github.

I hope this helps.
