Hi Genevieve,
This error usually comes up in Galaxy when one of the input datasets has no content.  Can you make sure that all inputs have content and that they’re actively loaded into your history?

Genevieve replied 3 years ago

Yes all my input file has a content and they are in my history. I have 777,113 sequences in the UNITE fasta file and the other file is my unique.seq fasta file.

I also tried with the UNITE_public_mothur_full_01.12.2017.fasta as Reference to align with and I got the same error (TERM environment variable not set)

Hmm… I was going to suggest you post your issue to the Galaxy forum on Biostars, but i see you’ve already done this!
This might be the way to go since they can access your session and debug directly, however if you don’t get a response in the next few days, you could perhaps send me your data and I’ll try to reproduce the error.
sound good?
