无法在 anaconda 中安装 pal2nal package

Question

I am new here and also just learning how to work in anaconda, so I would like to ask for help. I need some packages installed to be able to run my sequence analysis and calculate dN/dS ratio. For that I need paml, clustal omega, prank, blast and pal2nal packages to be installed. I'm working in Windows 10 (unfortunately, but no other way - working laptop).

I have been trying to install pal2nal package in anaconda using conda, bioconda, pip commands and I always get the same error.

My tries: conda install -c bioconda pal2nal, conda install -c anaconda pal2nal, conda install pal2nal, pip install pal2nal (it doesn't exist among python packages) and I even tried to create a new environment and install it there but no luck. It's the same with the rest of the packages.

The message what I always get is: Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve. Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source. Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve. Solving environment: / Found conflicts. Looking for incompatible packages. This can take several minutes. Press CTRL-C to abort. failed

UnsatisfiableError:

Does anyone know why I always get this error and maybe what to do to be able to install these packages?

Thank you very much for help!!

Sorry, but that package is only available through Bioconda and Bioconda does not support Windows natively.

Instead, you will need to work with a virtualization or containerization layer such as WSL or Docker/Singularity.
