Can not install Strelka through Conda on Macos

[genesolutions]

Hello,

I am having trouble installing Strelka through Biconda on Macos. I used conda install strelka and i have set up the channels. But the terminal returned `Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve. Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

• strelka

Current channels:

• https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/osx-64
• https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/noarch
• https://conda.anaconda.org/bioconda/osx-64
• https://conda.anaconda.org/bioconda/noarch
• https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/osx-64
• https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch
• https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/osx-64
• https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/noarch

To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're looking for, navigate to

https://anaconda.org

and use the search bar at the top of the page.

Is this a OS problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Most probably it is because of python version in your conda environment.

Strelka works with python2.x

It looks like all the versions of Strelka on conda are for linux: https://anaconda.org/search?q=strelka

So conda will tell you that the Strelka package wasn't found because there isn't a version that would run on your macOS.

Even if you are running python2.x on your Mac OS and you run conda install strelka, conda will tell you it can't find the package.

If you run conda install strelka or conda install -c bioconda strelka on Linux, it works.
