I am trying to generate sequence directory by running the following command in picard tools.

java -jar picard.jar CreateSequenceDictionary REFERENCE=new_hg38.fa OUTPUT=reference.dict

But it returns with this error.

This can be solved by qualifying the path to your picard.jar file. For example, if you have downloaded picard.jar to the bin subdirectory of your home directory, you would change your command line to. java -jar $HOME/bin/picard.jar
