How To Fix FilterSeq.py: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu FilterSeq.py is provided by presto package.

presto is:

pRESTO is a toolkit for processing raw reads from high-throughput sequencing of B cell and T cell repertoires.

Dramatic improvements in high-throughput sequencing technologies now enable large-scale characterization of lymphocyte repertoires, defined as the collection of trans-membrane antigen-receptor proteins located on the surface of B cells and T cells. The REpertoire Sequencing TOolkit (pRESTO) is composed of a suite of utilities to handle all stages of sequence processing prior to germline segment assignment. pRESTO is designed to handle either single reads or paired-end reads. It includes features for quality control, primer masking, annotation of reads with sequence embedded barcodes, generation of unique molecular identifier (UMI) consensus sequences, assembly of paired-end reads and identification of duplicate sequences. Numerous options for sequence sorting, sampling and conversion operations are also included.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install presto

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install presto.

sudo apt -y install presto

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install presto
