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) ?

Solution 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 The default Conda channel does have Biopython, but is often out of date.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

Solution 2

Open the terminal and export your path to anaconda:

export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

Then type:

conda install -c anaconda biopython

Solution 3

Install Anaconda Navigator, go to "Environments" and select the appropriate environment (base or your own) and click "not installed". Scroll down to biopython click the box and then install...

You're supposed to put that command into the terminal, not the python interpreter.

Hahahahaha sorry this is the funniest comment ever, +1, and yes he is right you install it through command line

But after installation, I get ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'biopython

[Maximilian Peters]

did you try importing it via import Bio?
