Is it possible to install with conda?

[James Vincent]

I'm trying to install RGT with a new conda install. 

Standard pip install fails with missing curl dependency for pybigwig even when libcurl is installed in conda:

  libBigWig/bigWigIO.h:2:23: fatal error: curl/curl.h: No such file or directory

   #include <curl/curl.h>

The more detailed install instructions here:  

http://www.regulatory-genomics.org/rgt/download-installation/

seem out of date since that page says RGT only supports python2.7.

Is there a way to install RGT cleanly in one go with conda?

Hi,

The conda package is not managed by us, and actually uses an older version of RGT (that one only supports Python 2.7). We cannot offer support for conda.

On the website is just some text that needs to be updated - the current RGT version, 0.13.0, only supports Python 3.

Cheers,

Fabio

I should have specified - install using conda python/pip, not the conda package. 

We’re trying to install RGT as a standalone package - not dependent on system things, so we’re using conda. 

I would expect to simply use python pip from within conda but this seems to have one failure after another. I note a number of other posts like this also. 

I was just wondering if anyone has successfully installed this way.

As a followup, I’ve succeeded in installing via conda if pybigwig is installed through conda (not pip) then numpy scipy and cython are also installed via conda. Pip install of RGT then completes.
