I am having trouble running the Genome Research paper's UMI-tools. After following the INSTALL instructions from their repository I am given the following error:

[garrettp@n2010 UMI-tools]$ python setup.py install --garrettp
('Version detected:', LooseVersion ('0.6'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 15, in <module>
    "umi_tools requires setuptools 1.1 higher")
ImportError: umi_tools requires setuptools 1.1 higher

I also had trouble installing setuptools and was given a permission error. I have not been able to get around the permission error to install setuptools yet.

When I try to index the example.bam file by following their instruction

samtools index example.bam

I get an error because I don't have the samtools command.

Genome Research UMI-tools: Created an issue on github to resolve why I haven't been able to install setup.py
$ python setup.py install --user
returns a lengthy error ending with 
IOError: Could not build the egg.

Determined that my problem is that I don't have permission to update setuptools.
Contacted HPC support for help.
