Have a problem installing Bowtie

[Hamed]

Hi! I am a beginner in the field of bioinformatic and trying to install Bowtie on my mac and server (linux) that I use. I followed Bowtie's instruction and executed the make command from inside the Bowtie directory but I got the following error:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
I also tried gmake command as suggested by the instruction but it didn't work too

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this problem?

Can you not use the pre-compiled binaries that are available for both OS X and Linux (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bow...owtie/1.1.2/)? These are ready to run and do not need compilation.

I had downloaded it from the same page but the problem was that the instruction file inside the package belongs to not pre-compiled version so I followed the instruction and tried to compile it

I could use it without any compilation!

Assuming you are looking for Bowtie v.1 here are:

Mac binary: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bow...4.zip/download
Linux binary: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bow...4.zip/download
