Hello, yes, I tried it, but I have to do my home work on university's remote computer, unfortunatelly I go an error, when I try to use abyss-fac command, cuz it is not installed. In this way I am trying to find another way to calculate optimal k-mer size

You can use Kmergenie (http://kmergenie.bx.psu.edu/). It is a special tool for finding the optimal k-mer length.
