Trying to get STAR to use all available cores on Threadripper

I have ubuntu running on 36 core threadripper and 128 GB ram desktop. When I try to use STAR to index my genome file, I see only one core being utilized at 100%

I have used --runthreadn 20 as a parameter in the STAR indexing command.

Is there any way I can get STAR to use more processors?

Thanks!

Programs may not use all cores for all operations. If you have specified use of more than one core then STAR will use them as needed in appropriate steps.
