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

In Ubuntu miniasm is provided by miniasm package.

miniasm is:

Miniasm is an experimental very fast OLC-based de novo assembler for noisy long reads. It takes all-vs-all read self-mappings (typically by minimap) as input and outputs an assembly graph in the GFA format. Different from mainstream assemblers, miniasm does not have a consensus step. It simply concatenates pieces of read sequences to generate the final unitig sequences. Thus the per-base error rate is similar to the raw input reads.

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

sudo apt-get -y install miniasm

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

You can also use apt command to install miniasm.

sudo apt -y install miniasm

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

sudo aptitude install miniasm
