I am returning to the Qiime2 enviroment after some time off but I appear unable to open it or any others.
Iβm using a conda enviroment and have tried both qiime2-2020.2 and qiime2-2019.1
source activate qiime2-2020.2
(After some time cycling through bash, python, sed, tr the following message prints repeatly to my screen)
-bash: redirection error: cannot duplicate fd: Too many open files
-bash: redirection error: cannot duplicate fd: Too many open files
-bash: redirection error: cannot duplicate fd: Too many open files
-bash: redirection error: cannot duplicate fd: Too many open files
-bash: redirection error: cannot duplicate fd: Too many open files
Understand this may be more of conda env issue but Iβve had a surprisingly hard time finding anything useful online from other sources.
Any help would be most apprciated so I can get stuck back into my microbiomes
It sounds like maybe your shell was evaluating the contents of that alias statement. Bash (the shell you appear to be using) is picky about single quotes vs double quotes, so maybe the right incantation is:
alias qiime="source activate qiime2-2020.2"
It's also worth noting that conda has introduced a more robust tool for activation of envs, I highly recommend you switch to that:
conda activate qiime2-2020.2
The QIIME 2 Forum Moderator team removed the response - it contained content that was inconsistent with our code of conduct (link).
Let's focus on the issue that you have identified (your bash alias) - we don't want to start changing the security settings (what was proposed in the removed post) on your computer without reason.
