How do I install biopython in anaconda?

Question

I get SyntaxError: invalid syntax

while trying to install biopython using the following command.

conda install -c anaconda biopython

Could you please help me install biopython in anaconda (3) ?

Answer 1

Package maintainers recommend using (in the terminal):

conda install -c conda-forge biopython

We deliberately recommend using Biopython from the conda-forge channel, as this is usually up to date and covers Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. The default Conda channel does have Biopython, but is often out of date. https://biopython.org/wiki/Packages

Answer 2

Open the terminal and export your path to anaconda:

export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

Then type:

conda install -c anaconda biopython
