The 'VCF-kit==0.1.6' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Hello,

I have been trying to install for the past couple of days. The first few errors dealt with ascii code issues, and a couple missing dev libraries. I was finally able to get cyvcf2 to install and then VCF-kit installed successfully using pip.

Trying to test the install I am getting the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/vk", line 6, in

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'VCF-kit==0.1.6' distribution was not found and is required by the application

First thought would be something is not mapping properly or there was a missing sym-link. Time to take a break from this and come back with fresh eyes.

Hi @DallasThomas - I'm sorry I missed this. Were you able to figure this out?

My recommendation is that for the time being you use anaconda to install.

No I never did get this worked out and have been so busy with other things this has been on hold.
