But If type "bamCoverage"

~ bamCoverage

-bash: bamCoverage: command not found

~ deeptools

-bash: deeptools: command not found

How can I use deeptools.

Depending where deepTools was installed you may need to add that directory to your $PATH in order to be directly able to run the program: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/183295/adding-programs-to-path

That location may be $HOME/.local/bin/ (since you did not specify a location during install). If $HOME/.local/bin/bamCoverage --help produces a help output add $HOME/.local/bin/ directory to your $PATH.

assuming there is a deepTools folder in your home folder, in the terminal: export path=~/deepTools/bin:$path
