MACS3 installation

I am trying to install MACS2/MACS3 in the Ubuntu 20.04 environment. I am having issues I have no idea how to solve (fairly new to this environment and this is my first post!).

Using the commands: sudo apt install MACS3 or pip install MACS3 (and for MACS2 as well) I receive the following error messages:

This cycles through all MACS3.0.0aX versions.

I have installed the latest cython and numpy. cykhash installation also fails.

Any input or advice is most welcome! Cheers

You're missing a compiler. I usually install the build-essential package on ubuntu which contains gcc, make, and a few other 'essentials'.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y build-essential

You may want to consider installing a software environment manager such as conda in the future. It allows for the creation of separate software environments to avoid version conflicts, and will automatically install needed dependencies. See my post here also on how to augment conda with mamba.

Dear rpolicasto,

I am getting this error while installing macs3 on ubuntu system. I have installed the required dependencies for macs3 but somehow I am not able to install it.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. ERROR: Failed building wheel for macs3 Failed to build macs3 ERROR: Could not build wheels for macs3, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Thank you

Best, CK

Do yourself a favor and use the mamba package manager.

Thank you ATpoint. Yes, it has been resolved. I have installed using mamba only.
