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

In Ubuntu proalign is provided by proalign package.

proalign is:

ProAlign performs probabilistic sequence alignments using hidden Markov models (HMM). It includes a graphical interface (GUI) allowing to (i) perform alignments of nucleotide or amino-acid sequences, (ii) view the quality of solutions, (iii) filter the unreliable alignment regions and (iv) export alignments to other software.

ProAlign uses a progressive method, such that multiple alignment is created stepwise by performing pairwise alignments in the nodes of a guide tree. Sequences are described with vectors of character probabilities, and each pairwise alignment reconstructs the ancestral (parent) sequence by computing the probabilities of different characters according to an evolutionary model.

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

sudo apt-get -y install proalign

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

You can also use apt command to install proalign.

sudo apt -y install proalign

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

sudo aptitude install proalign
