Bowtie2-build cannot build an index

I use bowtie2-build to build an index for the chicken galGal5 reference genome, but it showed error message below. The chicken galGal5 genome was downloaded from UCSC Genome Browser (http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/galGal5/bigZips/galGal5.fa.gz). The bowtie2 for Mac was downloaded from sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bowtie-bio/files/bowtie2/2.3.0/bowtie2-2.3.0-macos-x86_64.zip/download). After unzipping, I moved the folder to /Users/gary/Applications/bowtie2-2.3.0, and added a path in .bash_profile (export PATH=$PATH:/Users/gary/Applications/bowtie2-2.3.0). Could you help me? Many thanks.

Thanks you so much. It seems working now. However, when I install "thread building blocks" using command line: brew install tbb. It showed Caveats below. Should I run the two command lines it suggested? Many thanks.

==> Caveats

Python modules have been installed and Homebrew's site-packages is not
in your Python sys.path, so you will not be able to import the modules
this formula installed. If you plan to develop with these modules,
please run:

  mkdir -p /Users/gary/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

  echo 'import site; site.addsitedir("/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages")' >> /Users/gary/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/homebrew.pth

You're not a developer, so I wouldn't worry about it.
