Compatibility between azimuth with seurat v4

[Montsecb]

Hi!
I'm trying to install azimuth with seurat v4 but I'm getting an error, is there any way to do it?

This is the error:

I would like to know if there is an option to use with seurat v4.
Thank you.

I think you should installed Azimuth-0.4.6 locally. It can be downloaded from https://github.com/satijalab/azimuth/tags. Azimuth-0.4.6 works fine with seurat-4.4.0.

Niubile001, can you clarify how to install it from the link you provided? Is there a way to do this from R? If not, what is to be done with the downloaded folder/files? I am having the same issue re: compatibility with Seurat v4

When using remotes::install_github('satijalab/azimuth', ref = 'v0.4.6') to install the package, I get this error:

It appears to still want v5, unless this method of installation is not doing what I think it's doing.

I was able to install it with remotes::install_github('satijalab/azimuth', ref = 'v0.4.4')
neither 4.6 nor 4.5 appear to be compatible with seurat v4
