Troubleshooting GTDB-Tk Database Installation and Environment Configuration

[soojunglee98]

Environment

• Installed via pip (include the output of pip list)
• [0] Using a conda environment (include the output of conda list && conda list --revisions)
• Using a Docker container (include the IMAGE ID of the container)

Debugging information

• [0 ] gtdbtk.log has been included (drag and drop the file to upload).
• Genomes have been included (if possible, and there are few).

Additional comments

As mentioned on this website, I installed the conda environment and tried to download the database.

When I run download.sh, it says:

"Cannot write to '/home/spotgiet/miniconda3/envs/gtdbtk-2.1.1/share/gtdbtk-2.1.1/db/gtdbtk_r207_v2_data.tar.gz' (No space left on device)."

So, I manually downloaded the database to another directory due to space limitations in my home directory. However, I encountered this error:

================================================================================
                                     ERROR

          The 'GTDBTK_DATA_PATH' environment variable is not defined.           

            Please set this variable to your reference data package.

   Please compare the checksum to those provided in the download repository.

So again, as mentioned on the website, I activated my conda environment and tried to run:

conda env config vars set GTDBTK_DATA_PATH="/scratch/raskin_root/raskin0/shared_data/Soojung_Sarah/gtdb_tk/release220"

But it keeps saying: "To make your changes take effect, please reactivate your environment." even though my conda environment is already activated. Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

[pchaumeil]

you need to deactivate and then reactivate the environment for the changes to be applied properly.

conda deactivate
conda activate your_gtdbtk_environment_name

This step is necessary because of the environment change.

Yes, I did that several times but it doesn't work. Do you have any more suggestions? Thank you!

Do you still have the exact same error? or is your error pointing to the new release220 folder now?
i.e. is the error similar to

The GTDB-Tk reference data does not exist or is corrupted.           
GTDBTK_DATA_PATH=/path/to/unarchived/gtdbtk/data    

or

The GTDB-Tk reference data does not exist or is corrupted.           
GTDBTK_DATA_PATH=/scratch/raskin_root/raskin0/shared_data/Soojung_Sarah/gtdb_tk/release220
