# :icon-desktop-download: Installing Djinn

## conda [!badge text="recommended"]
Djinn can be installed with conda/mamba:
```bash
conda install -c bioconda -c conda-forge bioconda::djinn
```

## pixi [!badge text="recommended"]
If you have an existing pixi environment configured with the `bioconda` channel:
```bash
pixi add djinn
```

If you don't have a pixi environment in your project directory:
```bash
pixi init -c conda-forge -c bioconda
pixi add djinn
```

## pip
Alternatively, if conda isn't available on your system, you can
install the python package manually. You will also need to make sure `samtools` is installed on your system.
### 1. get the latest release
This example uses version `2.0`, but the version you want may differ
```bash
DJINN_VERSION="2.0"
https://github.com/pdimens/djinn/releases/download/${DJINN_VERSION}/djinn.${DJINN_VERSION}.tar.gz
```

### 2. decompress it
```bash
tar xvfz djinn.${DJINN_VERSION}.tar.gz
cd djinn.${DJINN_VERSION}
```

### 3. install with `pip`
```bash
python -m pip install .
```

```bash in the event the installation wont work, try this
python3 -m pip install --upgrade build && python3 -m build && \
    pip install dist/*.whl
```
