Missing mcxdeblast in the MCL package for Roary analysis

[nrk-u]

Hello,

I am trying to run Roary for pangenome analysis, but I encountered an error saying that mcxdeblast is not found. I installed the mcl package using Homebrew, but it seems that mcxdeblast is not included in the package. I have tried reinstalling mcl multiple times, but the issue persists.

While searching the MCL repository on GitHub, I could only find the mcxdeblast.html and mcxdeblast.ps files, but not the actual executable or source code for mcxdeblast.

Could you please provide guidance on where to find the mcxdeblast tool, or suggest an alternative solution to get Roary working?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
nrk-u
