  (Asked by: username_0 on 2023-04-03)
  
  I've been trying to run [DATES](https://github.com/priyamoorjani/DATES), a software that estimates admixture time, on my Linux Mint machine but I keep running into problems. This is the code to run the program:
  
  ```
  ./dates -p pardates.txt
  
  ```
  
  The program then runs smoothly, but right before it ends it comes into an error:
  
  ```
  Calling fit!...
  dates_jackknife -p pardates.txt -l     0.450 -z Assyrian -r 77  -a >Assyrian:log
  **sh: 1: dates_jackknife: not found**
  ##end of dates:       28.806 seconds cpu      627.270 Mbytes in use
  
  ```
  
  I have tried the software on other Linux flavors but it keeps giving the same error, despite the fact I have exported the path to the bin directory every single time. I exported the path with this line:
  
  ```
  export PATH=/ubuntu/home/Desktop/DATES/bin
  
  ```
  
  I've also checked my version of perl script (dates jackknife's script) and it's up to date.
  
  I have contacted the authors about the issue but they told me it's an issue with my environment, which I'm pretty sure is not.

  I suspect the path should not be 'ubuntu/home/Desktop/DATES/bin'. It should be /home/username/DATES/bin, where username would be your ubuntu ID/name
