I am trying to install deeptools, but I always get the following error:

I run the following command: pip install deeptools

Thanks for your help.

Why don't you try installing it using conda?

Answer 1

[DBScan]

So I fixed it by installing conda. However I couldn't install deeptols in the base environment and therefore had to create a new one. But now R always uses the base environment and therefore can't find deeptools. How can I solve this problem? Running the R-script directly in the terminal with Rscript works fine, but RStudio doesn't work.

Probably you need to set the R path in RStudio.
