mirDeep-P file needed for plant miRNA prediction

Please does anyone have a working and complete copy of mirDeep-P. The link on sourceforge is not getting any file

Although I found one here Here, but it is corrupt and not successfully extracting. Thanks for your help

mirna mirdeep-p

Although extracting from the downloaded file does indeed results in an error message, it seems the scripts are there?

tar -xzf miRDP1.3.tar.gz
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
  
ls -ls miRDP1.3/
total 56

Yes, I am able to get the three scripts and the same error message but the number of scripts in mirDeep-P should be around nine (9) So, all the scripts are not extracted

I finally found a way out.

This might be useful to someone too

Instead of extracting on Linux, I found a way to extract using WinRAR on Windows. Two levels of nested extraction have to be done to recover all the files (10 files actually).

Thanks
