Error when generating PCoA plot

Hi,

I filtered my distance matrix based on Metadata. Then I wanted to generate PCoA with the filtered distance matrix, but I got an error. Could you please help me to figure it out? Here are the codes I used and the error message.

qiime diversity filter-distance-matrix
–i-distance-matrix core-metrics-results/unweighted_unifrac_distance_matrix.qza
–m-metadata-file MetaData_CaneToadData1.tsv
–p-where “SampleTypes=‘large_intestine’”
–o-filtered-distance-matrix core-metrics-results/large_intestine-filtered-distance-matrix.qza

qiime emperor plot
–i-pcoa core-metrics-results/large_intestine-filtered-distance-matrix.qza
–m-metadata-file MetaData_CaneToadData1.tsv
–p-custom-axes Location
–o-visualization core-metrics-results/PCOA_large_intestine-filtered_unweighted-unifrac-Location.qzv

Hi,

I realised I forgot to run one step qiime diversity pcoa before generating qiime emperor plot

Thanks,

Jia
