Problem in installing rMATS through conda?

Question

[majeedaasim]

I tried to install rMATS through conda using the command:

conda install -c bioconda rmats

Following error appears:

 UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
      - pexpect
      - rmats
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

MY system info is

How to fix it? Thanks

What are the outputs of conda info pexpect and conda list? Most likely the Python 3 version of pexpect is installed. rmats requires a Python 2 environment.

In that case, creating a conda virtual environment could save you a ton of trouble.
