how to install survivor with conda

Question

[c.clarido]

Hello community,

I'm kinda new with installing packages in conda. So I am trying to install the [survivor][1] and I tried both:

1. conda install -c bioconda survivor
2. conda install -c bioconda/label/cf201901 survivor

I get: PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

So what is the name of the channel and how do I activate ?

It's in the normal bioconda channel.

$ conda search survivor
Loading channels: done
# Name                  Version           Build  Channel             
survivor                  1.0.0               0  bioconda            
survivor                  1.0.3               0  bioconda            
survivor                  1.0.3      h2d50403_1  bioconda            
survivor                  1.0.5      h2d50403_1  bioconda

You left out the important caveat that you're using a Mac. Survivor isn't available for OSX.
