ResolvePackageNotFound: - bbtools=37.62

Hi Mike,

Whenever I try to run the conda env create --file cenote-taker2_env.yml command I get the ResolvePackageNotFound error. To deal with this I tried to download bbtools from the website itself, however, when I got to the last step of the installation I kept getting an error saying the wget file could not be found.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for opening this issue. Based on your problem, I'm going to guess you are trying to install this on a Mac. Unfortunately, I'm only able to support this tool on Linux machines, and the installation (including conda environment) only works on Linux.

Specifically, bbtools on Anaconda only has files for linux.

I know that not everyone has access to a Linux machine, but High Performance Compute Clusters almost always run on Linux, and this is where most bioinformatics tools are used. Sorry if this precludes you from using the tool.

Mike
