CytoNorm for anaconda install #40

Open jacobHog opened 1 year ago

jacobHog commented 1 year ago

Hello, I have been unable to find the CytoNorm package available for installation through popular package repositories like Bioconductor or conda-forge, including Anaconda. As a user interested in utilizing CytoNorm for data analysis, I kindly request the owners of CytoNorm to consider making it available as an installer package on platforms like Anaconda. This would greatly enhance the accessibility and ease of installation for the community of users relying on Anaconda for their data analysis workflows.

Hi, Just being curious, why github is not considered as an easy way of installation? Best.

When it comes to working with Anaconda environments and installing packages, there is a fundamental rule to follow: Always prefer using conda for installations. This is because conda diligently checks for compatibility between different package versions, ensuring smooth interactions among them. By adhering to this rule, you can maintain the integrity and stability of your environment, avoiding potential conflicts that might arise from installing packages from other sources like GitHub or similar platforms.
