Plugin error when quality controlling sequences and building Feature Table and Feature Data

Hello! When I used "qiime dada2 denoise-paired", it gives an error:
Running external command line application(s). This may print messages to stdout and/or stderr.
The command(s) being run are below. These commands cannot be manually re-run as they will depend on temporary files that no longer exist.

I encountered this problem for the first time,and I don't know how to solve this problem,does anyone know? I would appreciate!

And here is command:

Welcome to the QIIME 2 forum, @87JOE!
That's a pretty gnarly error message you've got there. I haven't seen this one in person, but there are a few similar posts here, and I suspect you're experiencing a sneaky out-of-memory error.

Some digging produced these issues (1, 2), both of which discuss the fact that DADA2's memory use tends to scale up alongside the number of cores requested during its filtering stage. You may be able to fix this by increasing memory allocation, or decreasing the number of cores you're running on (--n-threads). Most people go with the latter, but you can make the call based on what resources you have available.

Let me know how it goes!

Thank you! This help me a lot,I found the problem is "--p-n-threads " . Although I have enough CPUs, I changed the thread to 4 and ran it successfully
