thank you Devon,

this is path to bwa : /usr/home/izadi/Downloads/bwa-0.7.12/

this is path to mirnakey: /usr/data/nfs6/izadi/miRNAkey/

how I can put them in path please?

I did like so

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/home/izadi/Downloads/bwa-0.7.12/ /usr/data/nfs6/izadi/miRNAkey/

but error is the same

Apparently you're not using bash, but tcsh or something like that. I think you use setenv or something like that on such shells.

You are using tcshell at the moment (based on the result below).

What does echo $SHELL show? If it shows tcsh/csh in there somewhere then

setenv PATH $PATH:/path_you_want_to_add
