installing via conda? #5

I really like your package, but is it possible to add an option to install it via the conda package manager?

This would be very helpful, and makes it easy to install!

Hi, thanks for using SCDC! What system are you using? Would directly download from github cause any error? I would like to fix it if so.

Thank you for your answer!

In our institute we use a big super computer to run all our analysis on, with mainly jupyter as platform, using (bio)conda to manage the different environments (both python, R, bash etc..), with different packages.

I did manage very well to install all the dependencies of SCDC using conda, but SCDC is not on there yet so I installed via devtools in the regular R library. Conda package manager and R package manager don't talk together, so if ever SCDC updates and it requires new/upgraded packages, then it will be a whole big spaghetti mess of packages that are installed with packages with different versions etc... ! ;)

I see! Thanks for the suggestion! We will try to add it to conda later! I'll let you know when it's available!
