Good morning,

I just installed Tophat2 Bowtie2 and Samtools on my Mac. I am trying to run the test file and I get this error.

I tried to figure out the origin of the error but I am stuck.

I will appreciate if I can get some help.

Yes I did,
I didn't download the correct version for Tophat. I use mac and downloaded the source but with Mac OS X x86_64 binary it worked! Hope it helps
