Minion installation failed

Minion is not a separate tool, but part of Reaper . And by this link i`ve downloaded the reaper-latest.tgz, unpacked it, and following this instruction stopped on the step "make". The average code is under the post.Then I copy directory to PATH, and after $ cd $PATH command I get

bash: ~/Download/reaper-15-065/src/minion: No such file or directory

Please help, what I did wrong?

:~$ cd Downloads
:~/Downloads$ tar zxvf reaper-latest.tgz
:~/Downloads$ cd reaper-15-065/src
:~/Downloads/reaper-15-065/src$ make
export PATH="~/Download/reaper-15-065/src/minion"
$PATH
bash: ~/Download/reaper-15-065/src/minion: No such file or directory
kraken reaper minion

It appears that you tried to set you $PATH including actual program name. $PATH needs to include the directory that contains the program.

Change the command to export PATH="~/Download/reaper-15-065/src/.

Then things should work.

Note: I am assuming that make completed and you now have following four executables in src directory.

   reaper   (read trimming, filtering, demultiplexing)
   tally    (deduplication of reads, re-pairing independently paired end reads)
   minion   (adapter inference from sequence files)
   swan     (simple local alignments)
