Hey guys. I am trying to install bowtie1 on my mac but having some difficulties. I am using brew install bowtie it exited withe following error.
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
....
This formula was found in a tap:
caskroom/cask/bowtie
To install it, run:
brew install caskroom/cask/bowtie
I ran brew install caskroom/cask/bowtie. it said brew successfully installed bowtie. but when I do bowtie -h, it doesn't give help menu. I have also tried to follow some suggestions on downloading unzipping and directing the command to the folder to install. But wasn't successful. Does anyone know why and what I can do differently?
I am not sure that is the correct bowtie program.
As an option you can get the pre-compiled binary for macOS here.
Thank you Genomax. I downloaded it and noticed that I have to work in the bowtie directory for it to work... Thanks again
Not necessarily. All you have to do is to add the directory with the
botwie
executable to your$PATH
like this:Oh. Yea I will do this next time, I took the long route already. Thanks again
