I was using max RAM, and it still errors out. I found this thread > [@MemoryError when training classifier with SILVA](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/memoryerror-when-training-classifier-with-silva/1476/5): > > Thanks for the quick reply Nicholas! And I should have clarified the problem - I am actually using one of the pre-trained classifiers already, not training my own. Sorry the title of this thread is misleading, but the original thread discussing a pre-trained Silva classifier was closed. The command I am running is: qiime feature-classifier classify-sklearn --i-classifier silva-119-515-806-nb-classifier.qza --i-reads rep-seqs.qza --o-classification taxonomy.qza --p-pre-dispatch 1 --p-reads-per-b… that suggested up to 30 GB is needed for the silva classifier. I have that and more free on our computer, but I can't seem to increase the amount of RAM allocated to the VM. Makes me wish we bought a mac --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/plugin-error-from-feature-classifier/3165)._
