unsatisfiableError during installation of anvio via miniconda on windows

[Mirja G]

Hi,

I tried to install anvi'o on windows. Therefore, I installed miniconda3 with phyton 3.7.

Then I followed the installation description (installation with conda) given on the meren lab website, but when I entered the command

conda install -y -c conda-forge -c bioconda anvio=6.1
I got following error:



(anvio-6.1) C:\>conda install -y -c conda-forge -c bioconda anvio=6.1
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be incompatible with each other:

Output in format: Requested package -> Available versions



Looks like I need an other version of one of the packages, but I don't know which package is meant by this error and also not which version is required.
Can anyone help me solving this problem?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Mirja, 

It looks like for some reason it could not find the version of Anvio you requested for some reason (Ive used that exact command before and it worked no problem on a linux system). Can you run conda install anvio ? It should still install the latest stable version even when not specifying 6.1. 

If that doesnt work hopefully someone else has a better suggestion! You could also try making sure your conda is up to date, and specifying python 3.6.9 when you're setting up the environment, that's the specific sub-version mine works in.

Best,

Kurt

Dear Kurt,

Thanks for your advice, but unfortunately none of your suggestions worked.. It seems that I have to use Linux for installing and use of anvio.

But thanks for the suggestions!

Hi Mirja,

If you want to install anvi'o on Windows you must use the Linux Subsystem for Windows. It is very convenient and easy.

Thank you both very much,

Hello,

I have some side problems on the WSL, so I wanted to install anvi'o directy on Windows. On the WSL I can't make it in displaying a browser (no one looks like it works, both chrome and firefox crash).

Is it possible to have a working version on Windows?

I don't think this is possible.
