MULTIQC problem

Question

[Ahmed]

I'm trying to install multiqc on my Ubuntu virtual machine but I get some errors

I do these steps

I activate my environment then I do this command

conda install -c bioconda multiqc 

Then I try to do multiqc by this command

multiqc + my fastq file 

I get error that multiqc command not found

So I tried to do this command

sudo apt install multiqc

But I get this error

E: Package 'multiqc' has no installation candidate

Any help?

[Giulia.cosenza]

when launching multiqc are you in the environment where you installed it?

Please do not use -c bioconda.

First, configure your channels as in the Bioconda docs:

conda config --add channels defaults
conda config --add channels bioconda
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict

Then install with the simple conda command:

conda install multiqc

See the docs for more.
