Maybe I was looking at the wrong channel. Thanks!

<p>genometools-genometools worked for me, while 2 other options (genometools and -c leylabmpi genometools) did not.</p>

Hi thanks Sara could you clarify your installation code please?  it appears you are designating channnels within Anaconda

Hi Michael, the example with the channel specified was a "fix" that was suggested elsewhere. What worked for me was "conda install -n GT genometools-genometools" where I specified the environment I wanted to install in (GT) but not the channel to use.

<p>I tied to install genometools with anaconda:</p>

<pre><code>conda install -c bioconda genometools
</code></pre>

<p>Though, after running that successfully the command <code>gt</code> is not available in my conda environment.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The program 'gt' is currently not installed. You can install it by
  typing: sudo apt install genometools</p>
</blockquote>

<p>While conda tells me the program is installed. Are there multiple packages called genometools? What is the difference and can I install the package providing <code>gt</code> with anaconda at all? There is also a package called <code>genometools-genometools</code>, but it only has two downloads. So, I am not sure that is what I need. </p>

I tied to install genometools with anaconda:
conda install -c bioconda genometools

Though, after running that successfully the command gt is not available in my conda environment.

The program 'gt' is currently not installed. You can install it by
  typing: sudo apt install genometools

While conda tells me the program is installed. Are there multiple packages called genometools? What is the difference and can I install the package providing gt with anaconda at all? There is also a package called genometools-genometools, but it only has two downloads. So, I am not sure that is what I need.

`genometools-genometools` seem to be the current version. By installing the `genometools` package I received the same error like you. I guess it's because the binary isn't copy to `bin` during installation.

`genometools-genometools` seems to work fine. And it has `2k` (2000) and not `2` :)
