lifton installation error [pip]

[haydenji0731]

Summary

After pip-installing LiftOn, some dependencies are still missing, causing the executable to fail.

Steps to reproduce

$pip install lifton # the most recent PyPI release == 1.0.4

What is the current bug behavior?

I've encountered two dependency errors so far:

miniprot is not installed. Please install miniprot before running LiftOn.
$ FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'minimap2'

System tested on:

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v2 @ 2.80GHz / CentOS Linux 7 x86_64

Did you manage to work around this bug? If so, how?

I ran conda install minimaps -c bioconda separately.
