salmon gets installed but while running Trinity it still keeps reminding

Question

[citronxu]

Hello guys,

I tried two methods to install Salmon, one by simply downloading zipped file 'salmon-latest_linux_x86_64' and unzipping it, then moved it to the folder where my Trinity located - "/usr/local/bin".

I also downloaded the source.zip and through a series of commands, 'mkdir build', 'cmake', 'make', 'make install', ended up with successful installation.

However, when I was about to run Trinity, it kept telling me to install Salmon first... and when I type 'which salmon' get nothing returned. I wonder if I should place salmon in a specific folder where the system could identify it? or should I add its path to system file by which the system could call it (something like export PATH...?)?

many thanks in advance.

exactly, when you want to ensure salmon is available for all other tools on you system you should add its location on your file system to the PATH variable
