I installed genometools with anaconda conda install -c bioconda genometools. Something is installed though apparently no binary called gt. If I type in gt Ubuntu suggests to install genometools via apt. What is the difference between both versions? Why is there no gt binary in the anaconda package?

These appear to be two separate collections of tools. The conda version is a collection of python scripts whereas the apt version is based on a C library. So, as you might expect, the python version does not have a gt binary.

They also have separate GitHub accounts conda genometools vs apt genometools.
