unsuccessful installation? Diamond command not found
Hi,
I'm trying to look at my metagenomic data from an ancient millet sample. This is my first bioinformatics project and I've had no training
so I apologise if my question is a bit basic.
I need a .daa file from diamond for MegaN. I have successfully downloaded MEGAN and it works with some example data. I can't manage to get my millet samples into a daa file though.
I've downloaded diamond but when I try to execute any commands in my terminal I get diamond not found. Perhaps I haven't installed/downloaded properly but I'm not sure what else to do. I've attached a screenshot.
Thanks for your help,
Roz
You need to include the path to the diamond file e.g. ./diamond blastx ....
Oh thank you!
I am getting an error for "cannot execute binary file"
I also get this when I try to open the diamond download

You seem to be using a Mac but have downloaded the linux version. On Mac you have to install either using bioconda, homebrew or compile from source (see the Wiki).
Ah yes, thanks again! I'm in an Ubuntu server now. I'm trying to build the reference database but having an issue with a state on file nr.faa?
It means the file does not exist. Make sure you have the correct path and file name.
