DADA2 in R (return code 1) error qiime2

Hello,

I encountered the following error after attempting to demultiplex my samples:

Plugin error from dada2:
An error was encountered while running DADA2 in R (return code 1), please inspect stdout and stderr to learn more

I read a few other threads and thought that the error had to deal with my version of R and R studio, but I reinstalled R 4.2.0 and Rstudio 2022.02.3 as well as qiime2-2022.2 in miniconda3 but had the same error message.

Here is the code I attempted:

Thanks for the help!
Maliea

Hi @Maliea,

I am wondering if there are competing versions of R or Rstudio in your existing conda environment that are creating this problem - let's have you try starting with a fresh conda environment and see if this fixes the issue. Please run the following commands on your machine:

conda deactivate

From here, you'll do a fresh install of QIIME 2 2022.2 - please follow the instructions here to install QIIME 2 within a conda environment based on your operating system.

Once the install has completed, go ahead and activate that environment and re-run the commands you shared above. Please let me know if you are still running into the same error, and we'll investigate further!

Cheers :lizard:
