KRAKEN2 database build with NCBI nucleotide

Hi everyone I try to download NCBI nucleotide file then translate into KRAKEN2 file. But I meet a problem, having any tool like SRA-toolkit can put into SRA number to auto download. Because KRAKEN2 database need Taxonomy ID and fasta format to build . Could anyone knows how to download one of bio-project database in nucleotide. Then translated into KRAKEN format

kraken2 ncbi nucleotide sra-toolkit

Such a good suggestion. But my situation is that I want to transfer Bio-project data into Kraken2 build. For my latest way process data, just download tiny fasta xml to transfer.

THX Arup. My problem is not from kraken2 build, but from download bio-project on NCBI(then transfer to kraken2 build format). Sorry for I did not show my problem so clearly.

Just a heads-up - you probably don't want to use the results obtained by Kraken2 with nt. There's real chaos in taxonomy assignments and the results are rarely trustworthy. It's much better to use databases derived from RefSeq; there's been some variation in how these are prepared, but this is a good and up-to-date link:
