Is selene-sdk still in channel bioconda?

[Miguel Atencia]

Sorry for the rookie question.

I am installing selene from Anaconda and I have added the channel bioconda but still the package selene-sdk does not appear.

Has anything changed or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Miguel,

Did you get any error message? I usually recommend starting a totally new conda environment and then trying to install Selene, e.g. `conda create --name selene-py37 python=3.7`

Let me know what command you are running as well for the actual installation.

You can also try installing with pip if conda doesn't work, but any info you can give to help us diagnose the issue would be great, thank you!!

`pip install selene-sdk`

Thank you for your answer. I created a new environment for selene. I am using the graphical interface of Anaconda Navigator, I added the channel bioconda (updated everything) and searched selene for "Not installed" packages. It does not appear.

Mmmmm.... I am using MacOS, is that important? Is selene only issued for linux?

Unfortunately I've never tried using the graphical interface for Anaconda before. You're trying to search for selene-sdk, not selene right?

And if you still can't install via conda, are you able to do so using pip?

Shouldn't be any issues using selene in MacOS, though you will run into trouble training models on it if you don't have GPU access

It works with pip. I have re-tried using only command-line:

conda create --name selpy python=3.7
conda activate selpy
conda install -c bioconda selene-sdk

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - selene-sdk

Working with pip is enough for the moment. In the long-term it may be a bit inconvenient since it sort of bypasses the dependency control of conda, but we'll see :)

Thanks!
