FastQC on HPC system doesn't work

Hi!

I'm trying to run fastQC on an HPC system but i'm having this error:

It seems that something is wrong with java.

I installed the latest fastQC version inside the HPC on my personal conda environment but I'm still getting the same error. Fastqc creates the report.txt file but the HTML file is missed and i can't see any plot in the zipped file generated.

Any suggestion?

your problem is here:

Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /tmp/imageio6327552574161602354.tmp

use option -d 

   -d --dir         Selects a directory to be used for temporary files written when
                    generating report images. Defaults to system temp directory if
                    not specified.
