Tutorial:installing samtools with conda – overcoming two common errors

Posting this here to help others.

Question – trying to install samtools with conda and encountering this error:

samtools: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

or this error:

samtools: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This seems to resolve both errors (or at least it worked for me):

conda install "samtools>=1.10"

Note the use of ", they are important.
