can't locate Moo.pm in @INC

[sharbie88]

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and I've just tried to put a couple of my .fasta files through your MLST module, which I've used many times over the past year and I get a new message:

Can't locate Moo.pm in @inc (you may need to install the Moo module) (@inc contains: /home/sharb/miniconda3/bin/../perl5 /home/sharb/anaconda3/lib/site_perl/5.26.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /home/sharb/anaconda3/lib/site_perl/5.26.2 /home/sharb/anaconda3/lib/5.26.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /home/sharb/anaconda3/lib/5.26.2 .) at /home/sharb/miniconda3/bin/../perl5/MLST/PubMLST.pm line 3.

Compilation failed in require at /home/sharb/miniconda3/bin/mlst line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/sharb/miniconda3/bin/mlst line 9.

I used your Debian install (sudo apt-get install libmoo-perl liblist-moreutils-perl libjson-perl), which returned:

liblist-moreutils-perl is already the newest version (0.416-1build3).
libmoo-perl is already the newest version (2.003004-1).
libjson-perl is already the newest version (2.97001-1).

The error message above is still repeated when I try to use mlst (with and without nominating the --scheme saureus).

(....please explain your follow-up instructions at a v. basic level. Thanks.)

The problem is that the Perl you are using to run mlst is not the perl that comes with Debian, so it can't find the Debian Perl modules. You seem to be using miniconda on your system, so it is using the Perl from miniconda. Please use the Bioconda install instructions.
