path error for samtools-1.2 after re-install

[cmccabe]

I recently re-install ubuntu and am getting a path error, but things seem like they are added.

cmccabe@HPZ640:~$ echo $PATH
/home/cmccabe/Desktop/ngs_analysis/samtools-1.2/:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
cmccabe@HPZ640:~$ cd "/home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS"
cmccabe@HPZ640:~/Desktop/NGS$ samtools view -H /media/cmccabe/C2F8EFBFF8EFAFB9/pool_I_090215/IonXpress_008_150902.bam | sed '/^@PG/d' | samtools reheader - /media/cmccabe/C2F8EFBFF8EFAFB9/pool_I_090215/IonXpress_008_150902.bam > /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/pool_I_090215/IonXpress_008_150902_newheader.bam
The program 'samtools' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:

What am I doing wrong? Thank you .

My samtools is in .../samtools-1.2/bin ... you do not have the 'bin' path in your path thus I suspect that is your problem. Do an

ls /home/cmccabe/Desktop/ngs_analysis/samtools-1.2/

And see what you have there. Then a

ls /home/cmccabe/Desktop/ngs_analysis/samtools-1.2/bin

And see what is there.

I do not have a /bin but added the path of where all the binaries are. I am getting a permission denied error and I'm not sure why. Thank you .
