Failed Majiq installation due to python error.

[Sherif Rashad]

Hello, I tried installing Majiq on a new Ubuntu machine but it failed.

The output is:

ERROR: Package 'rna-majiq-meta' requires a different Python: 3.7.6 not in '>=3.8'

I did setup Majiq and use it before on a virtual machine without issues. Not sure what:s happening here.

I have python 3.8.1 set up.

Hello,

Based on your prefix (env) (base) , it looks like you may have both a conda environment, as well as a second python environment activated. One of them may have a built in python version earlier than 3.8. I would recommend running $ deactivate and/or $ conda deactivate , once or twice until you have no (env) before your terminal. Then proceed with the standard setup steps using a usual python virtual environment:

$ python3.8 -m venv env_majiq

$ source env_majiq/bin/activate

$ pip install git+https://bitbucket.org/biociphers/majiq_academic.git/voila

Please let me know if you have success using this approach.

Thanks!
