Unable to install kraken (image optimizer)

Question

I want to install kraken in my anaconda. So I followed this command got from PyPI -

pip install kraken

But I end up with an error and that is -

Collecting kraken

Collecting python-bidi

ERROR: No matching distribution found for torch>=1.0.0 (from kraken)

I,ve also tried the instruction from anaconda -

conda install -c bioconda kraken

But this time I've got -

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

All these command I've eneterd is in Anaconda Prompt. So please help me through on how can I install kraken. TIA.

Answer 1

The GitHub repository has instructions for installing through Conda. It shows creating a new env, which generally is good practice.

Non-CUDA Version

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mittagessen/kraken/master/environment.yml
$ conda env create -f environment.yml

CUDA Version

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mittagessen/kraken/master/environment_cuda.yml
$ conda env create -f environment_cuda.yml

Note the --name flag can be used to specify an env name other than their default (kraken).

Install in Existing Environment

Technically, one can also use a YAML to install into an existing env. However, since it involves a pip-based installation, it is not recommended to install this to the base env (see Using Pip in a Conda Environment).

conda env update -n my_env -f environment.yml
