Hi Justine,
I don't really know what that means. I have limited understanding about the command line and associated things so if you could explain it in painfully simple terms I would greatly appreciate it. I am going to try what you suggested and thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
I tried what you suggested but I think I have a lapse in my understanding of the syntax. I tried to use the code from this post but it is still not working.
An unexpected error has occurred:
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xb0 in position 37: ordinal not in range(128)
See above for debug info.
So then I tried to re-run the fix:
(qiime2-2018.11) CANR-Biddle-Lab-iMac:~ BiddleLab$ echo $LC_ALL
(qiime2-2018.11) CANR-Biddle-Lab-iMac:~ BiddleLab$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
(qiime2-2018.11) CANR-Biddle-Lab-iMac:~ BiddleLab$ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
And then I tried to re-import my data but I got the same error as before.
