Hi!

Thanks so much for Transrate, it's a fantastic tool!! Have you thought about adding transrate to Conda (bioconda)? It's the easiest way to install bioinformatic software.

Cheers, ~MM

I made a Conda recipe myself. It's not the cleanest recipe, but works for me. If you happen to test it, I would appreciate some feedback. It's not on bioconda, but in a private repository. Have a look at #215

Nice! I'll try! Thansk!!

Awesome-- what do you think about moving your conda recipe to bioconda?

lmfaber commented 5 years ago

I would like to have the recipe added to bioconda so people can have easier access to it. However, I think that the recipe doesn't meet the requirements from the guideline. The biggest issue here being the dependencies. The recipe just downloads the precompiled binaries, including all dependencies like Snap-aligner, Salmon, Bam-read, and Blast+. If I get it right, one should use the dependencies from channels like bioconda, conda-forge or the default anaconda channel. However, I don't know if this is actually a big issue... Any thoughts on this?
