Slacken and Discount are now available in Bioconda

We are happy to announce that Slacken and Discount (details) are now finally available in the Bioconda package system. This should make them much easier to install and use for many people.

Package links: Slacken, Discount.

The Slacken tutorial has also been updated to assume Bionconda installation instead of the Docker based one (though Docker remains an alternative installation method).

As Bioconda is available only for Mac and Linux presently, Windows users will unfortunately still have to install manually for now.

Additional improvements and new features for both Slacken and Discount are also planned for the near future.

For questions, comments or feedback, please get in touch at: johan@jnpsolutions.io.
