Unable to install using conda install

[rodrigodealexandre]

I am running Linux Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS within Windows WSL2. I created a fresh conda environment using conda create -n bioinfo python=3.9 and installed tensorflow using conda install tensorflow. However, when I run conda install -c bioconda spliceai I get the following error:

(bioinfo) bioinfo@NBXMO-001:~$ conda list | grep tensorflow
tensorflow                2.4.1           mkl_py39h4683426_0

Your installed version is: 2.31

I tried several workarounds for other softwares such as conda update -n base -c defaults conda, conda update conda and others, however it seems it is a bug with the conda instalation.

You have two other options to run SpliceAI:

• pip install instead of conda install
• Just clone the repo and run spliceai/main.py

If none of those work for your setup, you can consider using the precomputed scores provided here https://basespace.illumina.com/s/otSPW8hnhaZR
