So, I am a complete beginner to both sequencing and linux (and thus the terminal as well.) I have been beating myself up for hours attempting to install bowtie2, and I know there is a simple answer right in front of my face.
Using 'sudo apt-get install bowtie' installs bowtie1, and replacing it with bowtie2 will not install because it says the program doesn't exist.
If I download the linuxx64_84 version of bowtie2-2.0.6, I can use the terminal to change the directory to the bowtie2-2.0.6 folder (after unzipping it) but then I am lost. I have heard to try to use ./configure and make.
./configure tells me - configure: command not found
make tells me- ***No targets specified or no makefiles found. Stop.
Any help would be much appreciated!
