I have installed python and many other useful tools on my Ubuntu 14.04 using Anaconda. I installed pysam (htslib interface for python) using
conda install pysam
However this installs the old version (0.6). The current version is 0.8.4. How can I install that version using conda. I don't want to use pip install pysam because I read somewhere it might cause problems.
Thanks.
Anaconda only provides version 0.6. You can install from binstar with:
conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/uhlitz pysam
This should give you version 0.8.3 for linux64. Other channels are also available.
