Tutorial error: Unrecognized parameter --tax-mapping-file

[sujee119]

Hi,

I'm trying to learn the workflow through the tutorial. unfortunately, the commands in the tutorials are wrong according to the program codes.

i followed this steps

Download the database

wget http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~compbiol/mmseqs2/tutorials/uniprot_sprot_2018_03.fasta.gz wget http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~compbiol/mmseqs2/tutorials/uniprot_sprot_2018_03_mapping.tsv.gz gunzip uniprot_sprot_2018_03_mapping.tsv.gz

Create a taxonomically annotated sequence database

mmseqs createdb uniprot_sprot_2018_03.fasta.gz uniprot_sprot mmseqs createtaxdb uniprot_sprot tmp --tax-mapping-file uniprot_sprot_2018_03_mapping.tsv

(mmseq2) cyborg@skynet:~/root_dev$ mmseqs createtaxdb uniprot_sprot tmp --tax-mapping-file uniprot_sprot_2018_03_mapping.tsv mmseqs createtaxdb: Annotates a sequence database with NCBI taxonomy information. The program will download the Uniprot taxMappingFile and ncbi-taxdump-folder if only two arguments are passed.

Usage: [ ] [options]

common options default description [value range] -v 3 verbosity level: 0=nothing, 1: +errors, 2: +warnings, 3: +info

Unrecognized parameter --tax-mapping-file Did you mean "-v"?

if there are any updates to the codes, please let me know.

-Thanks

This looks like it installed a really old version of MMseqs2. Did you install the software through conda into a new environment?

Yes, i used conda to install. I also tried reinstalling and ran the codes. the error repeats.
