MD5 checksums not found, something went wrong!
Hello, I took around 5 hours to work on this and it ended up such error message and only finished the first file downloading. I still have no idea why. I used Spartan (Cloud computing) to install it. Thanks

Hi @Edward_Kao
It seems like a security update was introduced at some point in python which disallows potentially dangerous tarball extraction patterns and you are using a version with this update. Would it be possible in your system to use a conda environment with metaphlan installed, so that you can be sure to use a version without this update?
