Platanus: command not found

Question

[puipui]

I installed Platanus_v1.2.4 on my ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. then moved it into miniconda3>bin. Created a temporary folder inside reads folder using "mkdir temp" command. then, write this command, "Platanus assemble -o platanus_k31 -f read_1.fastq read_2.fastq -k31 -t 2 -m 2 -tmp ./temp 2> assemble.log" But a assemble.log opens with a message command not found. What should I do?

Have you checked the path at which Platanus is installed? You can do that using which Platanus.

Also, have you checked if the installed path globally accessible as you haven't mentioned the absolute path in the above command? You can make the installed path accessible by including it in your ~/.bashrc file.

Hope this helps!

Step1: Download precompiled file (http://platanus.bio.titech.ac.jp/?ddownload=145) Step2: rename it as "platanus" Step3: Finally run ./platanus then you can see the available platanus option.
