Empty output when use HOMER annotatePeak.pl

when I use the following command USAGE: perl bin/annotatePeaks.pl 9A26_MarkDuplicates_summits.bed hg38

I got massage below

NOTE: If this part takes more than 2 minutes, there is a good chance your machine ran out of memory: consider hitting ctrl+C and rerunning the command with "-noann" To capture annotation stats in a file, use "-annStats <filename>" next time

There are only headers in the output file.

Why it warned me

chip-seq software error

Best guess, the folder with these scripts is not in $PATH.

You need to add a homer bin directory in your executable path (ex.: .bashrc).

Follow the instructions given on the homer installation page.

Look for subsection 4. under Installing the basic HOMER software section on the homer installation page.

Thanks.
