FileNotFoundError/FileExistsError. Either way if I have the file in question present or not

I’m trying to run PhyloPhlAn 3 (version 3.0.21) as a SLURM job using a singularity container to make a phylogenetic tree of a set of MAGs, but I’m running into errors when running my script. I have posted the script and errors (from logs) below in hope that somebody with more experience than

When I run the following script:
singularity exec /cvmfs/singularity.galaxyproject.org/p/h/phylophlan:3.0.3–pyhdfd78af_0 phylophlan_write_config_file
-o matrix/supermatrix_nt.cfg
-d n
–db_dna makeblastdb
–map_dna blastn
–msa mafft
–trim trimal
–tree1 fasttree
–tree2 raxml
–overwrite
–verbose

 singularity exec /cvmfs/singularity.galaxyproject.org/p/h/phylophlan:3.0.3--pyhdfd78af_0 phylophlan \
 -i /mnt/users/larssn/projects/Didrik/metagenomes/assembly/coassembly/MAGs \
 -d phylophlan_databases/phylophlan.tar \
 --diversity low \
 -f matrix/supermatrix_nt.cfg

I get one or the other error message depening on whether I have made the directory, “phylophlan_databases” or not. (also the same issue if I have the phylophlan.tar file in the directory and not)

I am struggling to understand what the problem is and how to mitigate it. Anybody else dealt with this issue? Given that I have tried both, I am thinking it might be the warning that occurs in both instances:

[w] “/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/phylophlan/phylophlan_configs/” folder does not exists

Thank you for taking the time to read through my issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
