Hello @colinbrislawn,
thank you for your reply. The tech support from the computing cluster were able to solve the issue with apptainer. The solution was:
salloc --mem=50G
cd /home/msalamon/projects/def-mcristes/msalamon/scripts/QIIME2_taxonomy/12SMimammal/
Appendix — Apptainer User Guide main documentation
Bind source:destination, bind current directory to /data
export APPTAINER_BIND=$PWD:/data
Set the working directory to be used for /tmp, /var/tmp and $HOME
export APPTAINER_WORKDIR=$SLURM_TMPDIR
module load StdEnv/2023 qiime2/2024.5
run with /data mounted
qiime tools import
--input-path /data/MIDORI2_UNIQ_NUC_GB261_srRNA_QIIME.fasta
--output-path /data/MIDORI2_UNIQ_NUC_GB261_srRNA_QIIME.fasta.qza
--type 'FeatureData[Sequence]'
I hope this can help other users !
