Feature-table tabulate-seqs error

[Francesco (Francesco Paroni Sterbini)]

Hi everybody,
this is my first attempt in using qiime2.
I have 2017.12.0 version natively installed.

I've just run the

qiime feature-table tabulate-seqs
--i-data rep-seqs.qza
--o-visualization rep-seqs.qzv

command and I received this: Error: no such option: --i-data

I attach the screenshot of feature-table tabulate-seqs help.

Should I install again the plugin? How can I do it?

Thanks for help

Francesco

Good morning Francesco,

Thanks for posting your command. I know how to help.

qiime feature-table tabulate-seqs 
--i-data rep-seqs.qza 
--o-visualization rep-seqs.qzv

Because your command is on three different lines, Linux thinks you are running three different commands! The solution is to place back slashes \ at the end of the first two lines, so that Linux knows these are all part of a single command.

qiime feature-table tabulate-seqs \
--i-data rep-seqs.qza \
--o-visualization rep-seqs.qzv

Or you can run this on a single line. Like this:
qiime feature-table tabulate-seqs --i-data rep-seqs.qza --o-visualization rep-seqs.qzv
