Does anyone know what cmpress is?

Hi! I am trying to make the Trinotate boilerplate and apparently I'm missing cmpress.

data/programs/Trinotate-Trinotate-v4.0.1/Trinotate --create  --db
myTrinotate.sqlite  --trinotate_data_dir
/data/programs/Trinotate-Trinotate-v4.0.1/util/databases 
--use_diamond

which: no cmpress in path

-error, cannot locate required utility: cmpress, be sure it is installed and available via your PATH env var setting which: no cmpress in path

First I tried conda install cmpress. The solver failed and couldn't find the package on anaconda.

Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:
- cmpress

Biostars' search only popped up one mention about cmpress which wasn't any help.

I tried searching for it on google but all the results show issues about file compressing and not the package cmpress.

Does anyone know where I can find the source code or does anyone know what program it's supposed to be part of?

cmpress trinotate

cmpress can be found in Infernal package. Several types of installation are described.

Great, thanks for the help!

I didn't realize that is what Infernal was for, I wonder why it's listed as optional on the wiki if it's needed to make the boilerplate.
