Question

I am trying to install samtools on my environment bioconda with this command:

bioconda install samtool

I get this error:

Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

How can I solve this problem because I want to convert the sam file to bam file, resulting from Hisat2 output aligner

Thanks

Use proper tags - in your previous post, you pasted the question text in the tag field and here, your tag is nothing. Use relevant tags (conda would be a relevant tag here). Use the site properly.

1. bioconda is a conda channel, not a command. I'm surprised it executes some sort of binary - what is the output of alias bioconda and which -a bioconda?
2. samtool is not anything, samtools is the software you're looking for
3. You've not pasted your complete error message, please do that.
