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

In Ubuntu mipeCheckSanity is provided by mipe package.

mipe is:

MIPE provides a standard format to exchange and/or storage of all information associated with PCR experiments using a flat text file. This will:

• allow for exchange of PCR data between researchers/laboratories
• enable traceability of the data
• prevent problems when submitting data to dbSTS or dbSNP
• enable the writing of standard scripts to extract data (e.g. a list of PCR primers, SNP positions or haplotypes for different animals)

Although this tool can be used for data storage, it’s primary focus should be data exchange. For larger repositories, relational databases are more appropriate for storage of these data. The MIPE format could then be used as a standard format to import into and/or export from these databases.

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

sudo apt-get -y install mipe

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

You can also use apt command to install mipe.

sudo apt -y install mipe

sudo aptitude install mipe
