problem installing/running #163

Open ctob2 opened 3 years ago

ctob2 commented 3 years ago

I tried to install using :

git clone https://github.com/lh3/seqtk.git; cd seqtk; make

and also tried inserting /Users/blahblah/seqtk instead of seqtk

BUT, I am getting the following message:

fatal: destination path 'seqtk' already exists and is not an empty directory. make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

also when I try and run a task, I get: zsh: command not found: seqtk

Very grateful indeed for any help- thanks!!

It sounds like you tried cloning, or otherwise downloaded, the repo before into that directory so git doesn't want to overwrite it. Make is also saying that there is nothing to be done. Is it possible you already followed the instructions once before? Is there a seqtk file in that directory?
