Hisat2: no command found in bash

[SamH2017]

Hi all,
I'm a complete novice at RNAseq mapping and I am trying to follow this protocol using their data: https://www.nature.com/nprot/journal...t.2016.095.pdf

I have downloaded the appropriate files and unpacked them and copied the relevant files into my working directory (HOME/bin) but when I try to run the first command to map the reads to the genome ($ hisat2 -p 8 --dta -x chrX_data/indexes/chrX_tran -1) bash spits out the following error: -bash: hisat2: command not found

The hisat2 executable file in present in my working directory, so I can't understand why it won't run.
Any advice would be much appreciated as my boss is back next week and I would like to have made some progress by then. I've been struggling with this since yesterday and can't seem to get past it.

Thank you in advance.
Samantha

While you would be able to get the command to run by doing

$ ./hisat2 -p 8 --dta -x chrX_data/indexes/chrX_tran -1 etc

you should spend a bit of time with some unix basics. I recommend this UNIX tutorial.

Problem solved!

Thank you so much GenoMax!! This advice worked a treat!

I will definitely take the time to learn the basics, and hopefully beyond! Thanks for the tutorial link.
