Installation problems

Dear GTDB team,

I have been trying to install the latest GTDB release 2.5.2 on our Ubuntu 20 system for over a week now, but there is a major issue with downloading the R226 database. Initially, it contained incorrect/incomplete genomes, and for the past week, it has not been downloadable at all.
Are there any restrictions or limitations for Europe/Germany that we should be aware of?

Thank you very much for your help!
Kind regards,
Christian

Hi Christian,

Which server are you using to download the R226 database?

We’ve set up a mirror in Aalborg, and downloading from Germany may be faster. There was a maintenance outage on the server last week, and some file systems didn’t restart properly, but it should be fixed now.

You can find the R226 package for GTDB-Tk here.

Cheers,
Pierre
