installing bwa for linux 32 bits

Hi, I'm new in linux usage. I'm trying to install bwa (0.5.7; 0.5.9; 0.5.10; 0.7.x versions) but i get an error. I get 'is missing for channels 32' when i tried to install by conda. I think the problem would be because my machine is 32 bits. then, I need help to continue my learnig. I would like to know if there is another way to install bwa or if there is another compatible version of bwa for linux 32 bits.

I hope what I have requested is possible.

What is the OS you're running? What's the reason for using conda for install? What is the output of uname -a in the terminal?

I don't think people need to legitimize using conda, it's kind of the standard for installing bioinformatics software.

The output of uname -a is: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18 18:34:49 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux.

compiled version

Bwakit is a self-consistent installation-free package of scripts and precompiled binaries, providing an end-to-end solution to read mapping. In addition to the basic mapping functionality implemented in bwa, bwakit is able to generate proper human reference genome and to take advantage of ALT contigs, if present, to improve read mapping and to perform HLA typing for high-coverage human data. It can remap name- or coordinate-sorted BAM with read group and barcode information retained.

do you need all the versions mentioned in OP? If you are on ubuntu or debian or mint, sudo apt-get install bwa -y will install current version of bwa (in repos) on your machine

If you are using (or have a human genome sized genome) then 32-bit is not going to cut it.

I want to use it for smaller genomes (bacterial genomes)
