No database with conda install? #29

Closed nicholascdove closed 2 years ago

nicholascdove commented 2 years ago

Hello, I installed cctyper with conda, conda create -n cctyper -c conda-forge -c bioconda -c russel88 cctyper activated the environment, conda activate cctyper and then tried to run cctyper cctyper ~/Downloads/44_contigs_1000.fasta ~/Desktop/cctyper_output_44 --prodigal meta

However, it says that it cannot find the database directory. Is there an easy way to fix this?

Thanks,

Nicholas

Hi Nicholas,

The quick fix is the set the CCTYPER_DB shell variable to the path where the database is located. This should normally happen automatically, though. export CCTYPER_DB="/path/to/conda/envs/cctyper/db

If the database isn't downloaded, for some reason, you can see here how to downlaod it manually: https://github.com/Russel88/CRISPRCasTyper#when-installing-with-pip-you-need-to-download-the-database-manually

By the way, I can see you are using an old version of CCTyper. It might also help to recreate the conda env with the newest version (1.6.4).

Cheers, Jakob
