Issue with clipper installation

[elisulvaran]

Hello. Thank you for creating this tool. I'm trying to use clipper in my local computer but haven't been able to install it. I downloaded the yml file, but when I run the conda env create -f environment3.yml line, I get the following error:

I tried installing the packages separately but the I get the same error. Any suggestions on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @elisulvaran Elizabeth! clipper is indeed hard to install. If you are trying to process eCLIP data, I highly recommend skipper https://github.com/YeoLab/skipper

If you still need clipper, please use the docker https://hub.docker.com/r/brianyee/clipper

Thanks

Hi, Thank you very much for the suggestion. I don't have eCLIP data so I'm still trying to use clipper. I followed your suggestion about using it through docker, and I was able to successfully pull the imag, but when I run docker run brianyee/clipper I get the following error:

ImportError: libcrypto.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I looked into the error and found that libcrypto.so.1.0.0 is under a different name in mac so I tried running it instead in my university server, but when running the command clipper -b mybam.bam -o out.bed -s hg19 I ran into the same issue. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thank you!!

Hi, could you please try the "charlene_move_data" tag? It is the last image I built (based off of a branch with relatively recent code: https://github.com/YeoLab/clipper/tree/charlene_move_data)

docker pull brianyee/clipper:charlene_move_data

[elisulvaran]

This worked. Thank you very much!
