megahit permission error in WSL miniconda environment

[nahid18]

I have installed megahit into my WSL miniconda environment by this command: conda install -c bioconda megahit After installation, running megahit -v, megahit --help or megahit --test works perfectly.

However, whenever I try to run megahit for my dataset by running: megahit -1 "A1.fastq.gz" -2 "A2.fastq.gz" -o "result/A" --out-prefix "A" it throws the error below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/nahid/miniconda3/envs/xassembly/bin/megahit", line 1038, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/nahid/miniconda3/envs/xassembly/bin/megahit", line 988, in main

  File "/home/nahid/miniconda3/envs/xassembly/bin/megahit", line 710, in create_fifo
    os.mkfifo(fifo_path)
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

How can I fix this issue? Please kindly help.

Turns out I was using .gz files lol. I had to use the .fastq format file. And the program is working now.
