Running kover do not work

Question

[rania.assab]

Good afternoon,

I am trying to run kover in my computer with the following command:

kover learn scm --dataset mypath/genome_paths.tsv --split 10

and it says:

IOError: Unable to open file (file signature not found)

Can you tell me where is my mistake?

Thank you very much in advance

Best regards, Rania Assab

rania.assab : Looks like this file needs to be in HDF5 format? It does not seem to be.

[rania.assab]

I finally found why thank you :) It is because my input is wrong yes

[Kevin Blighe]

What is your current working directory, and where is mypath/genome_paths.tsv located in relation to your current working directory?

In addition the file could also be corrupt. Check that as well.

[rania.assab]

The file was the output of download-genomes.py a tsv file containing the genomes ids 'tab' fna file path

I checked them both and I do not know why it tells me that...

[rania.assab]

I wrote the absolute path to be sure

Here is the whole output message:

There are two main modules to kover:

1. Kover Dataset: takes care of packaging sequence data and phenotypes into a format on which machine learning analysis can be done efficiently (see: http://aldro61.github.io/kover/doc_dataset.html)
2. Kover learn: takes care of the machine learning analysis, but requires data packaged as a "kover dataset" (http://aldro61.github.io/kover/doc_learning.html)

The problem here is that you were trying to use kover learn on something that wasn't a valid kover dataset.
