MPRAflow is not able to create a Conda environment

If you get a message like:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to create Conda environment
command: conda env create --prefix /home/user/MPRAflow/work/conda/mpraflow_py27-a6601743cee3b1029d4f3c810b7ebf02 --file /home/user/MPRAflow/conf/mpraflow_py27.yml`

Try to run conda separately using:

conda env create --prefix /home/user/MPRAflow/work/conda/mpraflow_py27-a6601743cee3b1029d4f3c810b7ebf02 --file /home/user/MPRAflow/conf/mpraflow_py27.yml

Afterwards try MPRAflow again. Please be sure that you are connected to the internet!

Can I use STARR-seq with MPRAflow?
No. For more details have a look at this comment.
The pipeline is giving an error “QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display” and won’t run. How can I fix this?
Depending on your cluser configuration, the QT_QPA_PLATFORM variable may not be compatible with the plotting scripts in the pipeline. To resolve this error, add QT_QPA_PLATFORM=’offscreen’ to your .bash_profile.
