Help installing Bioawk
Hello
I’ve been trying to install bioawk on my ubuntu system however I’ve come into a few issues.
in my user/bin directory which I’ve cloned the directory into
sudo git clone https://github.com/lh3/bioawk.git
cd bioawk/
sudo make
./bioawk
./bioawk returns
usage: ./bioawk [-F fs] [-v var=value] [-c fmt] [-tH] [-f progfile | 'prog'] [file ...]
However trying bioawk just returns command not found
I’m aware i may be missing something , this is my first attempt at installing something without a package manager

You are not missing anything. This is the classic problem of not having the directory which contains the bioawk
executable in your system $PATH
(a set of directories that are automatically searched when you try to run a program. You can add the directory containing the bioawk
executable to $PATH
by doing following (for bash
shell)
export PATH=$PATH:/path_to_dir_w_bioawk
