Centrifuge-1.0.3-beta: Dustmasker not found

Hello. As I am trying to download genomes from NCBI using command [centrifuge-download], a warning keeps popping up: "line 24: dustmasker: command not found." The downloaded files end up with 0 Kb and all the subsequent steps are unperformable. The version is centrifuge-1.0.3-beta and the command is as follow: centrifuge-download -o library -m -d "archaea,bacteria,viral" refseq > seqid2taxid.map Anyone helps me and saves my life :(

blast: centrifuge-1.0.3-beta

Looks like you need to get duskmasker as a part of the NCBI C++ toolkit . Take a look at README.build file in there to see how to compile.

Or download a dustmasker binary for your system here - it is part of the BLAST+ package

Thanks a lot! I am now trying things out and i'll see if everything works. :)

Now it works! I use the NCBI-blast-2.6.0+ module and everything is working now. Thank you very much! :)
