python anaconda

Please don't use TopHat for any new projects. There are many current programs that are much better suited for RNAseq. STAR, BBMap, HISAT2 to name a few.

Go for a faster aligner like Hisat2, Star etc.

Can I run STAR on normal computer with 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD?

Only if the genome you're using is tiny. Even hisat2 may run into issues on a small computer like that.

Hate to say this but if that is all you have you should stop now and find alternate hardware with better resources. What genome are you working with?

You need to download the linux-64 version of conda, not the 32bit version.
