Hello,

I have been trying to run this command on my own desktop pc, a command that I have run in my old server (where everything was already installed) and I am massively struggling with debugging the errors that keep popping every time I try to run anything.

I am simply trying to run CollectHsMetrics on just one sample to see if it works, and the idea is that I'd run it on the rest of my samples using a loop once it works, but I am failing to get it done.

The command (that runs perfectly fine on the server) is the following:

PicardCommandLine CollectHsMetrics I=PN0193.bam BAIT_INTERVALS=target.intervals_list TARGET_INTERVALS=target.intervals_list OUTPUT=output.txt REFERENCE_SEQUENCE=genome.fa

I have, on the same directory - just for ease of use - all the following files:

• .bam file and .bai file
• the target.intervals_list file that I am using for both BAIT and TARGET
• the reference genome and the index, created with samtools faidx

In my own pc, however, the same command returns, after processing all the reads (I cut it a bit for easiness of use)

I am begging if someone has any idea or can help me, please answer this post, because I am resourceless right now.
