We have discovered a bug affecting the interaction of pp-sketchlib and PopPUNK. If you have used PopPUNK >=v2.0.0 with pp-sketchlib <v1.5.1 label order may be incorrect (see issue #95).

Please upgrade to PopPUNK >=v2.2 and pp-sketchlib >=v1.5.1. If this is not possible, you can either:

• Run scripts/poppunk_pickle_fix.py on your .dists.pkl file and re-run model fits.
• Create the database with poppunk_sketch directly, rather than PopPUNK --create-db

This is for the command line version. For more details see installation in the documentation.

There are other interfaces, in-browser and through galaxy, detailed here.

The easiest way is through conda, which is most easily accessed by first installing miniconda. PopPUNK can then be installed by running:

conda install poppunk

If the package cannot be found you will need to add the necessary channels:

conda config --add channels defaults
conda config --add channels bioconda
conda config --add channels conda-forge
