Metaphlan3 installation fails

Hi,

I tried to install the new metaphlan3 for testing, but having some trouble. Conda installation installs, but the ‘metaphlan --install’ command fails with the error:

File /home/user/miniconda3/envs/metaphlan/lib/python3.6/site-packages/metaphlan/metaphlan_databases/file_list.txt already present!

KeyError: ‘mpa_mpa_v296_CHOCOPhlAn_201901.tar’

The docker installation (‘sudo docker pull quay.io/biocontainers/metaphlan’) also fails to install with:

Error response from daemon: manifest for quay.io/biocontainers/metaphlan:latest not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown

Hi,

Can you please check which build version conda installed?

You can do this by running ‘conda list’ from the activated environment.

I’m already aware of the Docker issue, but it seems a Bioconda issue.

the metaphalan3 version installed by conda is:

“bioconda/noarch::metaphlan-3.0-pyh5ca1d4c_1”

It seems that conda is not installing the latest build (pyh5ca1d4c_2), do you have your conda installation updated and correctly configured to fetch packages from Bioconda? You should have added the channels in the order that is written here, so the dependecies can be fetched correctly

It seems that the Docker image can be fetched by using this command docker pull quay.io/biocontainers/metaphlan:3.0--pyh5ca1d4c_2, I’ve provided to update the documentation

My mistake! Indeed the conda channel priority wasn’t properly set on my laptop. Now the correct metaphlan version installs (MetaPhlAn version 3.0 (20 Mar 2020) / metaphlan-3.0-pyh5ca1d4c_2) and the database download works!

I’m having this issue as well, but I’m having trouble resolving it. It seems that I’m stuck with pyh5ca1d4c_1 as well. However, I started with updated conda and set up the channels in the specified order.

I tried removing MetaPhlAn, setting up the channels again, and reinstalling, but I’m still stuck with pyh5ca1d4c_1. Do you have any advice for resolving this?

Have you tried installing it with --no-channel-priority in a clean environment? Cleaning the package cache could help.

What worked for me is to specify the build when installing: conda install metaphlan=3.0=pyh5ca1d4c_2 --no-channel-priority

I’m having the same problem as dkarig.
I’ve tried everything mentioned in this thread and couldn’t install this build! I tried to install other builds but they failed as well.

What is your setup? Can you post here the output of conda info?

Which error it gives you? Are you able to install a specific build?

I could install pyh5ca1d4c_1.

It looks like that is not a clean new environment. I’d try to create a new env with just python 3.7 (conda create -n metaphlan-3.0 python=3.7 and then install metaphlan inside it (conda activate metaphlan-3.0 && conda install metaphlan=3.0.1.

Otherwise you should try install it using pip

It works!
Thank you very much for your help.
