Problems with Importing Data 10/24

Hi Adam,

You will need to do this:

  1. You need a manifest file which will be a file with columns" Sample-id, forward-absolute-path, reverse-absolute-path similar to what’s here: https://docs.qiime2.org/2019.7/tutorials/importing/

  2. The files unfortunately will have to be copied into a folder. You can try this mv command here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/633945/how-can-i-merge-multiple-directories-into-on

  3. Then your command needs to be replaced to: --input-path needs to be /Users/adam/Desktop/Sunflower…/manifest.txt

  4. The absolute file paths will be /Users/Adam/desktop/folder/forward.fastq1.fastq.gz, /Users/Adam/desktop/folder/reverse.fastq1.fastq.gz, etc. (and should be in the same ROW, not column)

  5. You can see someone with this same issue here: importing paired FASTQ file into qiime had errors. any help?
