How To Fix fasttreeMP: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian
In Ubuntu fasttreeMP is provided by fasttree package.
fasttree is:
FastTree infers approximately-maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from alignments of nucleotide or protein sequences. It handles alignments with up to a million of sequences in a reasonable amount of time and memory. For large alignments, FastTree is 100-1,000 times faster than PhyML 3.0 or RAxML 7.
FastTree is more accurate than PhyML 3 with default settings, and much more accurate than the distance-matrix methods that are traditionally used for large alignments. FastTree uses the Jukes-Cantor or generalized time-reversible (GTR) models of nucleotide evolution and the JTT (Jones-Taylor-Thornton 1992) model of amino acid evolution. To account for the varying rates of evolution across sites, FastTree uses a single rate for each site (the “CAT” approximation). To quickly estimate the reliability of each split in the tree, FastTree computes local support values with the Shimodaira-Hasegawa test (these are the same as PhyML 3’s “SH-like local supports”).
This package contains a single threaded version (fasttree) and a parallel version which uses OpenMP (fasttreMP).
To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.
sudo apt-get -y install fasttree
This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.
You can also use apt command to install fasttree.
sudo apt -y install fasttree
Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.
sudo aptitude install fasttree
