I am running salmon and I am getting this error.

NOTE: It appears you are running salmon without the --validateMappings option. Mapping validation can generally improve both the sensitivity and specificity of mapping, with only a moderate increase in use of computational resources. Mapping validation is planned to become a default option (i.e. turned on by default) in the next release of salmon. Unless there is a specific reason to do this (e.g. testing on clean simulated data), --validateMappings is generally recommended.

I can see versionInfo.json in the salmon.index.mouse.052617.tgz. I am not sure why it can not see it.
