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

In Ubuntu melting is provided by melting package.

melting is:

This program computes, for a nucleic acid duplex, the enthalpy, the entropy and the melting temperature of the helix-coil transitions. Three types of hybridisation are possible: DNA/DNA, DNA/RNA, and RNA/RNA. The program first computes the hybridisation enthalpy and entropy from the elementary parameters of each Crick’s pair by the nearest-neighbor method. Then the melting temperature is computed. The set of thermodynamic parameters can be easily changed, for instance following an experimental breakthrough.

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

sudo apt-get -y install melting

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

You can also use apt command to install melting.

sudo apt -y install melting
