Installing a Python 2.7 environment using conda

neoSBM is written using Python 2.7. If you attempt to run the usage command above using Python 3, you will receive the following error message

python runNeoSBM.py -h 


  File "runNeoSBM.py", line 49
    print '\n\n'
               ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print('\n\n')?

One way to install a Python 2.7 environment without modifying your system Python is to install the free miniconda installer.

Once miniconda has been installed, create an environment for neoSBM using the following command in bash (Linux/Mac) or cmd.exe (Windows)

conda create -n neoSBM python=2.7 numpy scipy

Switch to this environment using the command

conda activate neoSBM

It should now be possible to run neoSBM from this command prompt. You can go back to the system version of Python when you are finished with

conda deactivate
