Hi, I am bumping this thread since I also can’t download the database,
I just installed the conda version (kneaddata v0.12.0) with mamba and did the following
kneaddata_database --download human_genome bowtie2 KNEADDB
I got this critical error
Download URL: http://huttenhower.sph.harvard.edu/kneadData_databases/Homo_sapiens_hg37_and_human_contamination_Bowtie2_v0.1.tar.gz
CRITICAL ERROR: Unable to download and extract from URL: http://huttenhower.sph.harvard.edu/kneadData_databases/Homo_sapiens_hg37_and_human_contamination_Bowtie2_v0.1.tar.gz
I even tried aria2c as a workaround as suggested here…
I also tried to manually downloading this this wget… and got
ERROR: El certificado de «huttenhower.sph.harvard.edu» no es confiable.
ERROR: El certificado de «huttenhower.sph.harvard.edu» no tiene un emisor conocido.
so I guess it is a server issue…
Thanks for your help
A
