I couldn't install DEseq2?

I did:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("DESeq")

I got the output and the installation

I'm having this same error when trying to install DESeq2 for R Version 3.6.1, even after adding sudo apt-get install libxml2 , sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev. I'm trying to install deseq2 via a Docker container, for which my Dockerfile looks like:

FROM r-base:3.6.1

WORKDIR /home

RUN apt-get update && \ 
    apt-get install -y \ 
        build-essential \ 
        gdb \ 
        git \ 
        jags \ 
        libcurl4-openssl-dev \ 
        libopenblas-base \ 
        libopenblas-dev \ 
        libssl-dev \     
        libssh2-1-dev \ 
        libxml2 \ 
        libxml2-dev \ 
        python-dev \ 
        python-pip \ 
        wget \
        sudo

RUN pip install awscli boto3

ENV PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin/
ADD . /home/
ENV R_THREADS=30

And then once I run this container interactively and start an R session, I try to install deseq via:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("DESeq2")

But I still get the dependency errors the poster of this question got:

You should ideally ask this as a new question and maybe point to this question in that new question. Given that you're using docker, I think the topic is different enough to warrant being a new thread.

As the error message states, you're missing the package xml2-config. You can google how to install that (probably libxml2-dev) on your OS (if you're on Ubuntu/macOS, it should be easy with a package manager).

As you said (sudo apt-get install libxml2 , sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev), the problem was solved. Thank you.:)

libxml2-dev is among the packages I install in my Dockerfile. I'll maybe just post this as a new question like you suggested.

When I am trying BiocManager::install("genefilter"). I am getting the following issue...

'getOption("repos")' replaces Bioconductor standard repositories, see '?repositories' for details

replacement repositories: CRAN: https://cloud.r-project.org

Bioconductor version 3.10 (BiocManager 1.30.16), R 3.6.3 (2020-02-29) Warning message: package(s) not installed when version(s) same as current; use force = TRUE to re-install: 'genefilter'

Kindly help me....If I don't use R without sudo then I get an error genefilter non zero exit status
