Hi @taf1g17,

This is very helpful thank you!

As I mentioned earlier is this thread, you can not use Windows-style file paths, but the file paths as WSL understands them. The best way to make sure you are using the correct Linux file paths is to cd into the folder where your sequence files are located, and type pwd. This will provide you with the absolute directory path. Do this within the WSL Terminal of course. :wink:

taf1g17$: cd share/seqs-to-import
taf1g17:~/share/seqs-to-import$ pwd  
    /home/taf1g17/share/seqs-to-import

Append this directory path to each of your files in your manifest file like so:

sample-id     forward-absolute-filepath     reverse-absolute-filepath
s1            /home/taf1g17/share/seqs-to-import/seqs_r1.fastq.gz     /home/taf1g17/share/seqs-to-import/seqs_r2.fastq.gz
...

-Hope this helps!
