Updating the Bowtie2 to version 2.2.5

Hi ,

I have downloaded the latest version of bowtie2 2.2.5 into my linux system and later I compiled it using make option. Now when I ran the command bowtie2 --version, I get the following printed

/usr/bin/bowtie2-align version 2.1.0

Is the latest version 2.2.5 is installed or Am I missing something. Kindly guide me.

Regards
Deena

I think, you need to put the new bowtie in path. When you run just bowtie2, it runs the previously installed as its in the path

Bowtie2, from Ubuntu, can be installed with a

sudo apt-get install bowtie2

which have its advantages, such as the binaries are automatically included in the path, and updates are recognized and use to work seamless
