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

In Ubuntu lucy is provided by lucy package.

lucy is:

Lucy is a utility that prepares raw DNA sequence fragments for sequence assembly, possibly using the TIGR Assembler. The cleanup process includes quality assessment, confidence reassurance, vector trimming and vector removal. The primary advantage of Lucy over other similar utilities is that it is a fully integrated, stand alone program.

Lucy was designed and written at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR, now the J. Craig Venter Institute), and it has been used here for several years to clean sequence data from automated DNA sequencers prior to sequence assembly and other downstream uses. The quality trimming portion of lucy makes use of phred quality scores, such as those produced by many automated sequencers based on the Sanger sequencing method. As such, lucy’s quality trimming may not be appropriate for sequence data produced by some of the new “next-generation” sequencers.

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

sudo apt-get -y install lucy

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

You can also use apt command to install lucy.

sudo apt -y install lucy

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

sudo aptitude install lucy
