Hello,
I’ve been recommended your tool and I am looking forward to using it. However, I am having issues downloading the 2025 database.
My command was metaphlan --install --index mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503 --db_dir metaphlan.
This downloads the files
mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503.1.bt2l mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503.pkl
mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503.2.bt2l mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503.rev.1.bt2l
mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503.3.bt2l mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503.rev.2.bt2l
mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503.4.bt2l mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503_VINFO.csv
mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503.nwk mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503_VSG.fna.
I have also tried downloading directly from Index of /biobakery4/metaphlan_databases and the same file is missing.
My error is Thu Apr 2 17:06:21 2026: [Error] No Metaphlan database found at: /home/melody/dbs/metaphlan/mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503.fna to build the minimap index. I assume the file mpa_vJan25_CHOCOPhlAnSGB_202503.fna should be included in the download?
Looking forward to your response.
Best wishes
Melody
