build custome genome index using script "build_genome_data.sh"

[yysheep2020]

Hi dear Jin,

when I run the script "build_genome_data.sh", it showed the error:

**_Total time for backward call to driver() for mirror index: 00:34:14

tar: unrecognized option '--sort=name' Try tar --help' ortar --usage' for more information._**

SO I think this error is rising because the command in script: tar cvf ${REF_FA_PREFIX}.tar ${REF_FA_PREFIX}.*.bt2 --sort=name --owner=root:0 --group=root:0 --mtime="UTC 2019-01-01"

Could you help me to check this?

Hi Jin,

An updated The stanford scg cluster has tar(GNU tar) version 1.26. But command "--sort=name" introduced to 1.28 version. could you help me to modify your code?

$ source activate encode-atac-seq-pipeline
$ conda install tar==1.29 -c conda-forge

Closing this. Activating pipeline's Conda env should work since tar is included in the requirements so latest GUN tar should be installed inside the env.

Reopened. Please let me know if the Conda solution works.

Not the orignal poster but I faced the same issue/error message. I used the conda tar update solution proposed above and it fixed the problem.
