Conflicts while installing dependancies

[jonaskohh]

Hello. I am trying to install metawrap and I have done the following:

1. Installing miniconda2
   wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
   bash Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

2. Creating new metawrap environment for dependencies
   conda create -y -n metawrap-env python=2.7
   source activate metawrap-env

conda config --add channels defaults
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --add channels bioconda
conda config --add channels ursky

I have tried "conda install -y -c ursky metawrap-mg" but there are always conflicts, so I have decided to install the dependencies one by one. I have found that "r-ggplot2" and "kraken2 (I had to use "conda install -c bioconda kraken2" as "conda install kraken=2.0" resulted in PackagesNotFoundError) have conflicts and therefore cannot be installed.

Is there a way to solve this problem? Thank you!

Don't restrict python version and it will be fine. Majority of dependencies rely on python 3 now. Salmon and prokka will be such a pain and they have to be settled in separate conda environments.

Do I still use miniconda2 then?

Should be okay. I prefer miniconda 3
