Human Genome Index STAR error killed 9

Question

[ryme]

Hi guys,

I am trying to run the STAR aligner to create the human genome index before proceeding to the alignment step. After approximately one hour and half the command stopped and showed this: killed 9.

This is my command:

STAR --runMode genomeGenerate --genomeDir ref/Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.dna_sm.primary_assembly.fa --genomeFastaFiles Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.dna_sm.primary_assembly.fa  --sjdbGTFfile Homo_sapiesn.GRch38.105.gtf  --runThreadN 16 (and I also tried runThreadN 1)

Could anyone help me please figuring out what the problem is. I am on Mac sierra (bash terminal).

Thanks.

What does the STAR log file log.out report?
