Hello,
First of all, it's the very first time for me to use any bioinformatics tools so this could be a dumb question.
Can you explain how to update makeblastdb, one of the binaries for Prokka?
I've been attempting to install Prokka using Ubuntu on Windows 10. I've tried to install it so many times but always stuck in this part:
[16:53:07] Appending to PATH: /home/djung0928/prokka/bin/../binaries/linux
[16:53:07] Appending to PATH: /home/djung0928/prokka/bin/../binaries/linux/../common
[16:53:07] Appending to PATH: /home/djung0928/prokka/bin
[16:53:07] Cleaning databases in /home/djung0928/prokka/db
[16:53:07] Cleaning complete.
[16:53:07] Looking for 'makeblastdb' - found /usr/bin/makeblastdb
**[16:53:11] Determined makeblastdb version is 2.6
[16:53:11] Prokka needs makeblastdb 2.8 or higher. Please upgrade and try again.**
I also tried to get up to date version of it from ncbi multiple times but it still doesn't work.
Anyone can help please?
Thanks very much
How did you try? Which file did you download? How did you install the NCBI-downloaded Blast?
You have to be more detailed, show the commands used.
It the new version in PATH?
How have you been installing it?
I would strongly advise you do it with
conda
.I had the same problem. I just changed makeblastdb of bin for another directory to solve the problem.
Your answer is the same as Mensur's; there is no need to add a new answer in that case.
