Hello guys I am trying to install samtools but I am getting the same error. Could you pls help me with this isssue? I am sharing the error code:

Does the solution suggested in Samfile error: dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib help?

unfortunately I tried so many code and i checked so many website but I couldn't figure it out

[iraun]

I see, can you update the question and specify the commands you have used to install samtools?

[bestone]

conda uninstall samtools conda update --all conda install samtools

I used it too but It couldn't fix it

The problem here was that an extremely outdated and semi-broken version of samtools had been installed.

At the time this question was asked, you needed to specify the samtools version number to get an up-to-date and functional samtools via conda:

conda install samtools==1.17

Since then the problem has been fixed and conda install samtools (without a version number) selects the most recent samtools again.
