<br>
when running a sbatch script i get "command not found".<br>
<br>
<br>
The command is blast (quite used bioinformatics tool).<br>
<br>
<br>
The problem comes from the fact that the blast binary is installed in the master node but not on the other nodes. When the job runs on another node the binary is not found.<br>
<br>
<br>
What would be way to deal with this situation ? what is common practice ?<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
