Installation issues with pyBigWig not finding numpy

[tacazares]

I have had some issues installing maxATAC on BMI. We need pybigwig to be able to find numpy and have it accessible in order to use the code. Sometimes when I install, the installation cannot find numpy with pyBigWig and this will cause an error in prepare and predict.

$ python
>>> import pyBigWig
>>>pybigwig.numpy
0

You should have a 1 returned, but a 0 is returned if you cannot find numpy. My solution has been to pip uninstall pybigwig and then conda install pybigwig. This fixes the issues. I was not able to fix the issues with pip install pybigwig.
