I downloaded the cell ranger reference database from wget https://cf.10xgenomics.com/supp/cell-vdj/refdata-cellranger-vdj-GRCm38-alts-ensembl-5.0.0.tar.gz then I tar tar xvzf the .tar.gz file and got a refdata-cellranger-vdj-GRCm38-alts-ensembl-5.0.0 folder in my path.
But when I run the cell ranger count command, I got an error said: [error] Your reference does not contain the expected files, or they are not readable. Please check your reference folder on n145.
I have deleted and reinstalled the databased several times but still got the same error. Can anybody provide me some advice on this please?
Thank you very much!

It looks to me that you downloaed the VDJ reference instead of the reference for GEX data? Since you used ""cellranger count", I assume the fastq files you have contains GEX data. Otherwise, you might want to try "cellranger vdj".
To answer myself's question: I used a vdj database for my gene expression data. So when I switch to the correct databases, it worked.

Can you provide the complete command you are trying to use? Which specific cellranger program are you using?
Yeah I should have, Sorry about that! Here is my command:
Thanks very much!!
Maybe, you should check your cellranger version, and makesure the ref was made by the right cellranger version.
