Ciriquant not configuring hisat2 indexed files

Why I am getting this error when I have my hisat2 indexed genome is in the desired folder and th path to the folder is correct.

While running the ciriquant i am getting this error i.e.

CIRIquant --config /home/akk/circ_analysis/new_analysis/config.yaml -1 /home/akk/circ_analysis/new_analysis/SRR_1.fastq -2 /home/akk/circ_analysis/new_analysis/SRR_2.fastq
Traceback (most recent call last):

    config = check_config(check_file(args.config_file))

    raise ConfigError('Could not find hisat2 index with suffix: *.[1-8].ht2 or *.[1-8].ht2l, please check your configuration')
CIRIquant.utils.ConfigError: Could not find hisat2 index with suffix: *.[1-8].ht2 or *.[1-8].ht2l, please check your configuration

the config file i am using is as follows :

# configuration for CIRIquant

# Input files
read1: /home/akk/circ_analysis/new_analysis/SRR_1.fastq
read2: /home/akk/circ_analysis/new_analysis/SRR_2.fastq

# Output directory
output_dir: ./

# Prefix for output files
output_prefix: prefix_for_output_files

# Paths to tools
tools:
  bwa: /home/akk/software_library/CIRIquant_env/bin/bwa
  hisat2: /home/akk/software_library/CIRIquant_env/bin/hisat2
  stringtie: /home/akk/software_library/CIRIquant_env/bin/stringtie
  samtools: /home/akk/software_library/CIRIquant_env/bin/samtools

# Paths to reference files
reference:
  fasta: /home/akk/hg38_genome/hg38.fa
  gtf: /home/akk/hg38_genome/hg38.refGene.gtf
  bwa_index: /home/akk/hg38_genome/hg38/hg38
  hisat_index: /home/akk/hg38_genome/hg38hisat

# Other parameters
threads: 4
anchor: 5
library_type: 0

And the contents of the folder hg38hisat are as follows:

akk@kashyap:~/hg38_genome/hg38hisat$ ls -lash
total 4.4G
4.0K drwxrwxr-x 2 akk akk 4.0K Apr 10 16:42 .

4.0K -rw-rw-r-- 1 akk akk    8 Apr 10 15:41 hg38.8.ht2

It is pretty clear to me that the path to hisat2 indexed genome is correct but i do not know why it is not able to find it. Please help, i am missing something very basic ??

Try replacing this line:

hisat_index: /home/akk/hg38_genome/hg38hisat

by

hisat_index: /home/akk/hg38_genome/hg38hisat/hg38

it worked. Thank you. Now my terminal is crashing, seems 16gb of RAM and 4 cores isn't enough. Can you suggest something?

I don't know for sure, but I think that decreasing the amount of threads (1 or 2 instead of 4) will decrease the memory requirements of the job so I suggest trying that.

Thank you. Decreased the threads to 2 (changed the threads: 2 in the config file; but it was somehow using 4). It did run for sometime but the following error came :
