28 | | As of fastq-dump version 2.8.1, running fastq-dump will require the vdb-config to be setup correctly. By default, downloaded/cache file is copied to the user home director which is likely to run out of space. Run ''vdb-config -i'' and use the GUI to enter a different location. Manually editing the file, $HOME/.ncbi/user-settings.mkfg, doesn't seem to work. See [[https://ncbi.github.io/sra-tools/install_config.html | NCBI SRA Installation/Config]]. Other alternatives: i) simply symlink the ncbi directory in your home directory to somewhere else with larger storage, or ii) download SRA file directly (eg. using wget) before using fastq-dump. |
