Installation instructions result in CellphoneDB v1 being installed #338

Closed GBeattie closed 2 years ago

GBeattie commented 2 years ago

Hey,

I have followed the installation instructions (created a conda environment, 3.7, followed by pip install), and ran cellphonedb to find that the cluster delimiter was "_" rather than "|" (in reference to #337), meaning v1 is installed. Any ideas of what the issue might be? I'm not hugely experienced with python, and I have cellphonedb v1 installed locally, but I would presume installing within the conda environment would have kept the versions separate?

Any assistance greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Gordon

Hi @GBeattie, sorry for the confusion. Are we talking about the cluster separator or gene interaction separator? I'll go and double check but I'm pretty sure: cluster combinations use | and gene interaction pairs use _. But just to be sure, could you please try pip show cellphonedb and check the version that was effectively installed?

I am referring to the cluster separator yes, and thanks for the command, it shows that it is a version issue. Below is the output, you can see I'm within the environment in which I installed cellphonedb following the instructions earlier.

Looks like you're still using python 3.5, you'll need at least python 3.6 for the latest version of CellPhoneDB.

When creating a conda env, I'd recommend you use this environment.yml.txt You use like this: conda env create --file environment.yml.txt and finally activate the environment conda activate cpdb

Great I have it working now, I discovered the problem was having multiple environments open since I failed to close them properly. Using conda deactivate a few times closed these, then reactivating the environment allowed it to find Python 3.8 and CellphoneDB v2. Thanks for the assistance!
