Dear galaxy community

I am trying to run the Kraken for metagenomics data. it works very nicely.

Unfortunately at the last stage of the kraken. kraken to galaxy taxonomy, the reference database was not found.

As per the previous solutions listed in the Community, I had installed the gb\_taxonomy tool. But still could not setup the databsse for taxonomy conversion to view in Kraken results in Krona.

Please suggest how to solve the datbase solution.

Hi @vmevada102!

Have you installed the `Kraken` Data Manager and run it to create the indexes used by the tool? I’m not sure if this DM requires a restart or not, so if after install the indexes still cannot be found, try doing that.

The Galaxy [ToolShed](https://usegalaxy.org/toolshed) has two versions. Use the one that matches the version/author of the other tools already installed.

- [data\_manager\_build\_kraken2\_database](https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repository/browse_repositories?sort=name&operation=view_or_manage_repository&f-free-text-search=kraken&id=60f848ae1e51fd55) Contains data managers that define and populate the kraken2\_databases tool data table.

- [data\_manager\_build\_kraken\_database](https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repository/browse_repositories?sort=name&operation=view_or_manage_repository&f-free-text-search=kraken&id=d4502026da414d3c) Contains a data manager that defines and populates the kraken\_databases tool data table.

Thanks!

> Hello all, I am working in the community analysis of the metagenomics data. Kraken2 is complied and merge all its previous separate tools to run in Galaxy. The problem i am facing is that, it will not generate file to view results in the Krona Pie chart. It is most essential step to visualize the results. kindly suggest some solution or update for the above said problem.

This tools were downloading the Database for the kraken2/kraken tool.

It is not downloading the taxonomy database for the Convert Kraken tool.
