Salmon installation problem

Question

[biology_inform]

I am trying to install salmon. I downloaded and extracted salmon.tar.gz and in it I created a subfolder named build but when I am trying to run cmake -DFETCH_BOOST=TRUE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/tools/salmon-1.8.0_linux_x86_64

It gives me error

 CMake Error: The source directory "/~/tools/salmon-1.8.0_linux_x86_64/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

How can I overcome this? I am using HPC

You could install it using conda instead which would be easier.

https://anaconda.org/bioconda/salmon
