DADA2 in QIIME2 - Return Code 1

Hello,
I am pretty new to using QIIME2. I have already imported my data via the manifests version, and I am currently trying to denoise my data using DADA2. I keep getting Return Code one, and I did to a 'qiime tools validate' on the file and everything seems to be ok. Not sure how to proceed. Also, I did run a q-score on the data as well and everything seems to be ok. My error is pasted below. Thanks!

Hi!
I encountered this error when I hadn’t enough of memory for the analysis. Maybe you just don’t have enough of RAM

Hello,

Thank you for the response. I have 8GB of RAM on my Windows computer; however, I’m using Virtural Box to run QIIME2. Also, I changed the number of cores to 2 using the p-n-threads command. Knowing this, would this still produce the same error?
Thanks!

Yes, it can be. 16 or 32 gb would be nice

Welcome to the forum @KCalapa!

You should allocate as much memory to the VM as possible (see the VB manual for instructions)

Good luck!
