I successfully installed pyGenomeTracks via:
pip install pygenometracks --user
However when I run it I get the following error:
from hicmatrix import HiCMatrix ImportError: No module named hicmatrix
Wondering if installation of this lib separately is necessary? Thanks!
The docs suggest if you aren't plotting a Hi-C matrix, you don't need this module. Are you plotting a Hi-C matrix? What is the command you used?
I used the central command in the package:
I guess what confuses me is that pyGenomeTracks is entirely dependent on the HiCExplorer running and this happened when tried to install the HiCExplorer:
This is strange since you're supposed to be able to use this package to make genome tracks without any Hi-C data.
Use conda, there are packages for pyGenomeTracks, HiCMatrix and HiCExplorer. If you want to use pip, use virtualenv, and install the correct version of dependencies:
And install HiCExplorer.
