Thankful of both of you! Apologize I am an newcomer in the field. Still lot to learn!
Dear All
I have a problem that we can not solved for a while in installing bioawk. I follow the general pipeline to install bioawk on ubuntu server:
- clone from git hub to the Download directory
- make
After that it is where we are stuck:
When I run the command:
mv awk book
I got error awk does not exist! When I install gawk and try mv gawk from /usr/bin to home/arsalan/download/bioawk, it works but when I cp bioawk to usr/local/bin and try to run it if fails and since gawk has already moved from /usr/bin. By typing gawk I got the error it is not installed! and typing bioawk I got error command not found!
Many thanks in advance

bioawk now compiles to the executable called bioawk and not awk
it used to compile to awk and some instructions may still refer to that and instruct you to rename it
Clone bioawk repo, run make and make bioawk executable
git clone https://github.com/lh3/bioawk.git
cd bioawk
sudo make
sudo chmod +x bioawk
./bioawk
bioawk is standalone. It doesn't need awk/gawk preinstalled in principle, though pretty much every linux distro has awk/gawk installed by default.
Anaconda/Miniconda mignt reduce this installation process.
conda install -c bioconda bioawk

cross-posted on my professional email :-[
mine as well - I wish the OP put in as much effort towards fixing this very simple error as they did to track down our emails
When i click sudo make it shows make: yacc: Command not found make: * [Makefile:50: ytab.o] Error 127
