error when installing gistic2 using conda

Question

[luckyday1661]

Dear all,

How to fix the error when using conda to install the gistic2?

I already use conda to create a new directory/environment, and then conda install -hcc gistic2 as the conda website shows https://anaconda.org/HCC/gistic2

conda install -c hcc gistic2

you did not show the actual error above, so maybe do that too

Thanks a lot!

Here is more detail of the error, it only shows once, and later the error does not show. I use module load to load the newest version of gcc11.3 and python3.10, but the error still shows...

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

Your installed version is: 2.28

create a new empty environment and see if you can install into that

module loading should not be necessary and may even be counterproductive here, conda cannot reuse local libraries

 conda create -n test -c hcc gistic2

it might still not work, it looks like some libraries are not compatible anymore

also try the binary package perhaps

https://broadinstitute.github.io/gistic2/

[luckyday1661]

Sure, creating a new environment still does not work, guess the compatibility still needs to be solved, which is most likely not possible by the normal user without root. And the binary package might be the best solution.

Thank you very much for your professional guidance! Appreciate it a lot!
