Hello,

I’m new to mothur.  
I’m trying to follow MiSeq SOP tutorial but have a problem during this.

I made contig file using ‘make.contigs’, and I think that this should make ‘stability.trim.contigs.fasta’, ‘stability.contigs.count\_table’, ‘stability.contigs.report’.

But my laptop made other files. see below.

I don’t have ‘stability.contigs.count\_table’ file, so I can’t foward ‘unique.seqs’ step.

```auto
mothur > unique.seqs(fasta=stability.trim.contigs.fasta, count=stability.contigs.count_table)

```

Because I don’t have count\_table, can’t give the count\_table option.

How can I get through this?

Thanks,

Jun

OK. I found the reason.

I installed mothur using bioconda, and its version is 1.46.1.  
I downloaded standalone version 1.47.0 and it works.

Since I’m familiar with using conda environment, is there any way to install version 1.47.0 on conda environment?
