error about Microsoft Visual C++ on installation #115

Closed zenonisole closed 10 months ago

zenonisole commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I get an error on installation and I was wondering whether you could help me please?

It asks for Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater, but I actually have greater than 14.0. I have tried to re-install Microsoft Visual C++ but this did not help. Please would you be able to assist me with this? Screenshot is attached.

Thanks

Unfortunately, we don’t support running IgDiscover on Windows. You did not say it, but is it correct that you tried to install IgDiscover using pip, that is, running something like pip install igdiscover? That will unfortunately not be enough because pip can only install Python dependencies, whereas IgDiscover depends on some non-Python programs as well, in particular IgBLAST, PEAR, FLASH and MUSCLE. So even if you install MS Visual C++ properly, you won’t be able to run IgDiscover.

I suggest that you either use a Linux machine somewhere or install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Then you can follow our regular installation instructions using Conda, which will properly install all dependencies.
