What should I do to upload the data on LefSe server properly?

Greetings,

I am trying to upload my dataset for LefSe and I keep getting the following error. I have tried troubleshooting many times but still it is not moving forward. Can anyone provide any suggestions?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/galaxy_venv/bin/lefse_format_input.py”, line 33, in
sys.exit(load_entry_point(‘lefse==1.1.2’, ‘console_scripts’, ‘lefse_format_input.py’)())

Welcome, @Ayushi_Bhagat :slight_smile:

Which server are you working at? The URL please. Find this at the very top of your browser window.

I am working on the Galaxy Module for the LefSe Analysis. After uploading my files on this server, I keep getting the above mentioned error. I have tried checking the formatting of the file via Notepad ++, tried my level best in double checking the format, still I am not getting through the process.
