efetch, bgzip, infoseq, seqkit, bioawk – commands not found. Do I need to install something?

Update: found the problem - I had not activated bioinfo in the new terminal window! Its all working now. :)

Leaving this question here in case anybody else is facing the same issue.

Original question - Most of the commands described in the data compression and subsequent chapters are not working - On trying commands like efetch, bgzip, infoseq, seqkit, bioawk etc, I get 'command not found'. Is there any additional the needs to be installed for these?

Make sure the miniconda install goes as described - that should fix this problem.

Always run the command "conda activate bioinfo" in your terminal window before working on any of the exercises described in the textbook or  class.
