Pangolin installation with conda v24.1.2 is failing

[satya-lalam]

As suggested in the Pangolin installation documentation, executed the following command with conda v24.1.2 conda install -c bioconda -c conda-forge -c defaults pangolin

Error Output:

Channels:
 - bioconda
 - conda-forge
 - defaults
Platform: win-64
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed

LibMambaUnsatisfiableError: Encountered problems while solving:
  - nothing provides iqtree 1.6.12.* needed by pangolin-1.1-py_0

Could not solve for environment specs
The following packages are incompatible
└─ pangolin is not installable because there are no viable options
   ├─ pangolin [1.1|1.1.5] would require
   │  └─ iqtree 1.6.12.* , which does not exist (perhaps a missing channel);
   ├─ pangolin [1.1.11|1.1.13|...|2.3.0] would require
   │  └─ iqtree <2 , which does not exist (perhaps a missing channel);
   └─ pangolin [2.3.0|2.3.2|...|4.3] would require
      └─ gofasta, which does not exist (perhaps a missing channel).

I assume the Pangolin required package versions for iqtree and gofasta are not available in bioconda channel.

This happens because of channel priorities. The conda-forge should take precedence over bioconda:

mamba install -c conda-forge -c bioconda -c defaults pangolin

You can also use mamba, it's faster.

This should also be changed in the documentation in the webpage.
