bowtie build error

Question

[Msadeghibiology91]

I tried to run bowtie with these commands: wget http://freefr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/bowtie-bio/bowtie/0.12.8/bowtie-0.12.8-src.zip unzip bowtie-0.12.8-src.zip

after this I had this error: Makefile:189: recipe for target 'bowtie-build' failed make: * [bowtie-build] Error 1 what i should do now?

The current version of bowtie is 1.2.2. Bowtie2 is at 2.3.4. Why are you trying to build an ancient version? Better use a package manager.

[WouterDeCoster]

You get the error from unzipping? Or did you also use make?

[WouterDeCoster]

Installation should be a breeze using conda.

[kloetzl]

That doesn't answer any of the questions I pointed out, above.

I installed current version of bowtie But it doesn't work Could you please tell me after installing bowtie what should l do?

[WouterDeCoster]

But it doesn't work

That's not very informative, you could at least show us the error message you got.
