Software testing process failure: How can I match the already installed programs with the testing data?

Hi! I am running a software that detects transposons in a model organism, [Tepid][1]. Unfortunately TEPID doesn't offer user support. For this reason, I decided to post the issue here wondering if someone is familiar with the error message.

I thought maybe pybedtools was not installed but it is: 

(base) silviav@wildtype1:~/TEPID:whereis pybedtools
pybedtools: /home/silviav/anaconda2/bin/pybedtools

Additionally, I installed TEPID with anaconda2 being activated and I don't know what could have gone wrong. I really would appreciate any help. Thank you in advance!

Please edit post title to make it concise/informative. Pasting an error message in the title is not good practice.

If this file present: ls -l /home/silviav/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pybedtools/cbedtools.so?

I already edited the title, hope it is informative enough, even though it was hard for me to find the accurate one.

The file also exists: 

(base) silviav@wildtype1:~/TEPID:ls -l /home/silviav/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pybedtools/cbedtools.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 silviav binf 2410168 Mar 20 12:50 /home/silviav/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pybedtools/cbedtools.so

Thank you for your help!

Did you install tepid using bioconda? That should install all proper dependencies.

Thank you so much! I thought TEPID didn't have bioconda to install.

Dear @genomax, I don't know how to validate/close this question. It cannot find the green mark on the left.

@genomax I installed tepid through bioconda and this is the error message:

Hope you could help me out. Thanks in advance.

You may have installed TEPID via conda, but the one you installed via pip is what's actually getting used. Please do the following:

PYTHONNOUSERSITE=True tepid-discover

The "PYTHONNOUSERSITE" part will prevent python for looking at anything under /home/silviav/.local.
