I am trying to install MACS peak caller from deb but it is saying that I dont have python 2.6 install even though I have. What could be wrong?

I'm trying to install MACS version 1.4.2 and I have python version 2.7.4 installed in Ubuntu. The MACS website says Python version must be 2.6 or 2.7 and it fails to install for me saying "macs depends on python2.6". How can I install it and will it work with 2.7.4 or do I have to downgrade to 2.6 (or 2.7?). -
Might not be picking up your version of python.should indicate what version of python you have,Code:python -V
will indicate which binary of python is being used (in case you have multiple versions in play). Is your pythonpath env variable set correctly? Are you pointing to the correct python libraries?Code:which python
The other option is going from source. Even if you don't use the compiled binary, it'll probably spit out an error message if your install fails, and that will also be useful in troubleshooting.
It looks like MACS bundles with a setup.py, so a python setup.py install --user should install MACS locally.Last edited by ctseto; 11-14-2013, 12:15 PM.Comment

Thank you I think it's working now, I used "python setup.pl install --user". When I type "./macs14 -h" or "./macs14 --version" it prints out the help or version number correctly.Comment

Saw that as well. I had originally posted instructions to pull the newest code from git and install it locally to --user, but you seem to have gotten that sorted out.Originally posted by biznatch View PostNow I figured out there is a new version macs2! But I got that one installedComment

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
