Failure to covert Fastq to fastA #139

Closed orchid677 closed 5 years ago

orchid677 commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I've installed the tool but when I try your first command

Beths-Air:seqtk Beth$ seq -a TT46_S643_L001_merged.fastq.gz > test.fasta

I get...

seq: illegal option -- a usage: seq [-w] [-f format] [-s string] [-t string] [first [incr]] last

What am I missing? Thanks. Beth

Hmm.. I tried that but it says

seqtk seq -a TT46_S643_L001_merged.fastq.gz > test.fasta [E::stk_seq] failed to open the input file/stream.

I am in the correct directory and have set the path.
