Kmergenie module readfq not found

I have been trying to run kmergenie for my data on ubuntu and every time I enter the code it gives an import error: no module named readfq. I have tried downloading the module from bioconda and when checking the directory it showed that the module was indeed downloaded. However, the error keeps popping up. I have been trying to run the software in a python 2.7 environment and have R installed. I saw there was a bug report regarding this issue on git-hub and that it was resolved. However, I am still facing the error. any help would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried to use python 3.x?

Yes, we tried version 3.6 However, the same error came up

It looks like the build script in bioconda no longer matches how kmergenie should be installed.

Found the solution, the error is in bioconda. Upon downloading and installing the software through the tar file on the website instead of downloading and installing from bioconda, the error does not appear.

How would you do this? I'm new to downloading modules and don't see an obvious tar download file on their github.
