Is it possible to install RGT on MacOS?

[Jessica Perciaccante]

I have been trying to install RGT on MacOS BigSur i7 with python3 and have had no luck. 

When I try to use pip the pyVCF package fails. 

I tried using conda to install cython numpy scipy and then used pip to install RGT. RGT installs but when i run rgt-TDF I get a DistributionNotFound error for moods-python. However, moods-python is installed and is the correct version.

Hello Jessica,

I think the pip did not work properly. Maybe you can upgrade pip and then install rgt-TDF:

easy_install --upgrade pip

According to the link below:

if the problem persists please let me know; perhaps I could help in another way.

Best,

Hi Mina, 

I think the problem is the packages are installing in python 3 directory and rgt-tdf is looking for them in python 2.7 site packages directory. 

So i think it is a problem with my path.
