You should try google ASAP.

Without joke, bwa and a lot of bioinformatics tools are not in the linux core library, that's why you can't install them with apt. For install a tool which is not in those library you have to download the package directly from the tool's website and follow instructions.

error is:

dsl-hkibng42-5673d7-72:bwa-0.7.17 benjamin$ install usage: install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 file2 install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 ... fileN directory install -d [-v] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] directory ...

which libz does not find anything

Installation from bioconda is often the easiest. Install the conda package manager, configure channels (https://bioconda.github.io/index.html#set-up-channels )

and then it's as easy as conda install bwa.

This works for most commonly used tools and will save you a lot of headaches.

If you want to install it via apt-get, try sudo apt-get update first.

Otherwise, you can download the source, and compile it
