Hi,

I'm trying to run the following code but I keep getting the error that follows and I'm not sure why... any help would be appreciated! I'm using qiime version 2019.10 on VirtualBox

Welcome to the forum @Doug_Szeto!

This indicates a memory error. Since you are working in VirtualBox, it is quite likely that you do not have enough memory allocated to the virtual machine. Check out the VB instructions to figure out how to allocate more memory and give it as much as you can!

Good luck!
