BrokenPipeError MetaPhlAn 3.0.7

Downloaded the database and built bowtie index. Tried to run MetaPhlAn on a sample .fasta file. Encountered the following error while running MetaPhlAn 3.0.7 on a .fasta file.

Error reading _ebwt[] array: no more data

I’d suggest to remove the bowtie2 index from /home/priya/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/metaphlan/metaphlan_databases/ and re-build it using bowtie2-build. It seems that the index you have is corrupted.
