Command not found after pip install spliceai

Question

[ian_chiquier]

Hi everyone, I used pip install to install spliceai, but then when I try to use commands like spliceai at the command line it says command not found. I believe I need to move something to my "PATH", but I am pretty unfamiliar with this and am not sure how it works (also new to using pip install) so would appreciate any advice.

Thank you!

I'd suggest installing via Conda

Hey I installed Miniconda2, but when I try to do conda install -c bioconda spliceai it says zsh: command not found: conda

It is possible that you need to log out and back in for the installation to work. Or try typing rehash on command line.

I think it said at one point that it installed successfully - I just think it isn't in my PATH or something (from what I read about online regarding this type of issue). I just don't know how to navigate my files in a way that moves the installed commands on to my PATH so that they may be executed.

Please copy and paste the commands you used, and the error message.

Did you (pip) install TensorFlow as well? It is a requirement, but it isn't installed automatically.

ianchiquier@Ians-MBP-2 % cat current_input.vcf | spliceai -R genome.fa -A grch38 > novel_output.vcf zsh: command not found: spliceai

And I just did pip install TensorFlow and still get the same error.

I was having a similar error. I installed spliceai with pip and could run fine in an interactive shell, but I would get 'command not found: spliceai' when submitting a job with qsub. I solved the problem by explicitly giving the path to spliceai (/home/unix/myname/.local/bin/spliceai -I input.vcf -O output.vcf -R ref.fa -A grch38 instead of spliceai -I input.vcf -O output.vcf -R ref.fa -A grch38). Adding the appropriate directory to PATH, as you originally suggested, also solves the problem.
