The docs say to use --version
, but I'm getting uncrecognized command
balter@exalab3:~$ which samtools
/usr/local/bin/samtools
balter@exalab3:~$ samtools --version
[main] unrecognized command '--version'
balter@exalab3:~$ samtools --version-only
[main] unrecognized command '--version-only'
You probably have an older version of samtools (likely v.0.1.1x) otherwise you should see this with newer samtools
You can confirm this by using @Brice's method below.
Indeed. Understanding
--version
and--version-only
was something we added on the way from 0.1.19 to 1.0 (in c4d398b9).
