> Hi everyone, Why did I see the different results on between galaxy platform and local environment (mac, conda)? During galaxy was down, I used Lefse with local conda environment in mac. The same data set was computed with the same settings such as class row, subject row, and normalization value). Then I found that the results of galaxy and local were different, especially the order of KEGG number in output like the attached plots (sorry that the png file generated from local may be obscure…) …

After I posed the question above, I could install lefse from github using the codes below;

```auto
git clone https://github.com/SegataLab/lefse.git
cd lefse
python setup.py install

```

I thought the latest version lefse was installed because the sentence below was shown finally.

```auto
Finished processing dependencies for lefse==1.1.2

```

Anyway I would like to confirm if I actually succeeded to install the latest version of lefse.  
However the option `-v` or `--version` doesn’t tell me the number of version of lefse.  
Does anyone know how to see the version of lefse used now?
