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

In Ubuntu lighter is provided by lighter package.

lighter is:

Lighter is a fast, memory-efficient tool for correcting sequencing errors. Lighter avoids counting k-mers. Instead, it uses a pair of Bloom filters, one holding a sample of the input k-mers and the other holding k-mers likely to be correct. As long as the sampling fraction is adjusted in inverse proportion to the depth of sequencing, Bloom filter size can be held constant while maintaining near-constant accuracy. Lighter is parallelized, uses no secondary storage, and is both faster and more memory-efficient than competing approaches while achieving comparable accuracy.

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

sudo apt-get -y install lighter
