How To Fix art_profiler_454: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu art_profiler_454 is provided by art-nextgen-simulation-tools package.

art-nextgen-simulation-tools is:

ART is a set of simulation tools to generate synthetic next-generation sequencing reads. ART simulates sequencing reads by mimicking real sequencing process with empirical error models or quality profiles summarized from large recalibrated sequencing data. ART can also simulate reads using user own read error model or quality profiles. ART supports simulation of single-end, paired-end/mate-pair reads of three major commercial next-generation sequencing platforms: Illumina’s Solexa, Roche’s 454 and Applied Biosystems’ SOLiD. ART can be used to test or benchmark a variety of method or tools for next-generation sequencing data analysis, including read alignment, de novo assembly, SNP and structure variation discovery. ART was used as a primary tool for the simulation study of the 1000 Genomes Project . ART is implemented in C++ with optimized algorithms and is highly efficient in read simulation. ART outputs reads in the FASTQ format, and alignments in the ALN format. ART can also generate alignments in the SAM alignment or UCSC BED file format. ART can be used together with genome variants simulators (e.g. VarSim) for evaluating variant calling tools or methods.

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

sudo apt-get -y install art-nextgen-simulation-tools

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

You can also use apt command to install art-nextgen-simulation-tools.

sudo apt -y install art-nextgen-simulation-tools

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

sudo aptitude install art-nextgen-simulation-tools

Summary

In this tutorial we learn how to fix art_profiler_454 command not found error in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux or Raspbian distribution.
