Error Code with Cuffdiff

I got this error code (seen below) using Cuffdiff and don’t know what to do from here or what the issue is exactly is. I know that this program has been deprecated due to problems with SQLite, but I can’t use the new differential analysis tools because I don’t have replicates for my data and saving multiple files of the same data doesn’t work. I did bulk RNA-seq which is why I don’t have replicates.

Fatal error: Exit code 1 ()

Is the option to output the SQLite output checked on the tool form? If so, remove that and run again.
