bowtie build error

I tried to run bowtie with these commands: wget http://freefr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/bowtie-bio/bowtie/0.12.8/bowtie-0.12.8-src.zip unzip bowtie-0.12.8-src.zip

after this I had this error: Makefile:189: recipe for target 'bowtie-build' failed make: * [bowtie-build] Error 1 what i should do now?

software error

You get the error from unzipping? Or did you also use make?

The current version of bowtie is 1.2.2. Bowtie2 is at 2.3.4. Why are you trying to build an ancient version? Better use a package manager.

That's not very informative, you could at least show us the error message you got.
