Hi there. I’m having the same problem. Did you fix this? I really need to use this tool to facilitate and teach some students to analyze an RNA seq.

Welcome, @lfdeoliveira

Let’s ask the tool developers for help at their chat. They may reply here or there, and feel free to join. [You're invited to talk on Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/!JLyNgmIlYnnCOwcFAQ:gitter.im/$kDxUV-aJCdYh_uO7ngY5YeVW2UE5oK3HhowKXlkPaEQ?via=gitter.im&via=matrix.org&via=matrix.freyachat.eu)

Meanwhile, if you could share more about your configuration, that might matter and speed this up. Do other tools work? What release are you running? What configuration have you done already?
