PackagesNotFoundError

[wjidea]

Hi,

I attempted to install ConFindr using conda with the following command

>conda install -c bioconda confindr But, I get the following PackagesNotFound Error.

Collecting package metadata: done
Solving environment: failed

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

  - confindr -> mash[version='>=2'] -> capnproto
  - confindr -> mash[version='>=2'] -> libcblas[version='>=3.8.0,<4.0a0']
  - confindr -> rauth

Wondering if you have a solution to this?

My conda is using Python 3.7.1.

My guess is that something is wrong with the channel setup within conda. Have you gotten bioconda set up as detailed at https://bioconda.github.io/#using-bioconda?

For more troubleshooting, can you let me know what the output of conda config --show channels is? You should see something like this:

channels:
  - conda-forge
  - bioconda
  - defaults

Yes, you are right. I didn't include conda-forge into my channels. I thought -c bioconda was enough. Thank you for your prompt answer.

>conda config --show channels
channels:
  - defaults

I fixed this issue by add conda-forge and bioconda channels into conda config using the following commands:

conda config --add channels bioconda
conda config --add channels conda-forge
