Here is my command:

And I ran this for like 7000+ fasta files in parallel

I am confused why i got an error like this even with -m specified. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated.


Cheers

Li

Hi Li,

could you please re-type your command line by hand and try again? There seems to be a "wrong" dash character in the "-p
12345" option.

Also, please have a look at the pipeline for parallel analysis of thousands of alignments which we released recently:

Hope this helps,
Alexey

Hello Li,

The -m option must be specified right after calling RAxML, otherwise it results in errors. I had the same many (MANY) times before finding out. :)

Best,
