UMI-tools running error- help needed :)

[SapirP]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to work with UMI-tools. After installation, I tried to follow the example they provide.

After executing this command:

umi_tools extract --stdin=example.fastq.gz --bc-pattern=NNNNNNNNN --log=processed.log --stdout processed.fastq.gz

I encountered this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: matplotlib

Nevertheless, matplotlib is installed on our server, and according to pip it is updated. Did anyone else encountered this problem or has any ideas for a solution?

Thank you so much.
Best,
