error installing on ubuntu

[michieitel]

Hi!

I am trying to install sloika on an Ubuntu distribution but when it comes to the setup.py it throws an error:

error in sloika setup command: "values of 'package_data' dict" must be a list of strings (got 'data/configs/*')

Looking into the "data" folder I cannot find the "config" folder that is expected. I tried using both cloning via git and installing from source. How can I get that folder? Should it be generated during the initial steps?

Thanks
Michael

Hi @michieitel,
Not directly an answer to your question but imo sloika is not really the way to go anymore for training models
We have been using https://github.com/nanoporetech/taiyaki

Thanks for you reply. This means I just have to figure out how to install another tool.... Oh man this field is moving forward so fast I can't keep up ;-)

cheers
