  1. Thanks for posting this hint! The files did extract in the bin folder. However, when I try to run any of the executables, I get a "command not found" error. Any ideas, Kevin?

  2. where are the full location of the binaries? did you try to run them when in the same directory?

    what's the command and where did you run the command?

  3. I am in the directory ~/BEDTools-Version-2.12.0/bin$ where all the executables are. When I type either of them, e.g. fastaFromBed I get the "command not found" error. Thanks!
