  Bowtie 2 not found, checking for older version..
Error: Bowtie not found on this system.

Do I have to download other versions? which is the proper version for the tophat?

[AndreiR]

can you call bowtie2 from shell? The path is set for bowtie2?

[Lee yujeong]

I called bowtie2 in .bash_profile

$ vi .bash_profile
export PATH=$HOME/path/to/bowtie2/bin/:$PATH
$ source .bash_profile

[GouthamAtla]

can u just type bowtie2 in command line and let us know if you see all the bowtie2 options ?

[Lee yujeong]

you means

export PATH=$HOME/path/to/bowtie2-2.1.0/bowtie2/bin/:$PATH

I wrote that command in .bash_profile and then exit the vi edit

$ source .bash_profile

[GouthamAtla]

open terminal/command line, type bowtie2 and press enter. What you see there ?

[Lee yujeong]

hi~

type bowtie2 and bowtie2 path in terminal

$ bowtie2
-bash: bowtie2: command not found
$ /path/to/bowtie2-2.1.0/bowtie2

This

$ bowtie2
-bash: bowtie2: command not found

shows that the PATH is not set properly. Which OS are you using ? You should see options of bowtie2 when you type bowtie2.
