spades finished abnormally, OS return value: -9 on metagenomics data

[marcomeola]

Spades finished abnormally while running through the assembly part in the conda environment.
Not sure whether is a RAM issue but at spades (https://github.com/ablab/spades/issues/472) they advised to update to spades version 3.15.
Maybe possible tu udpate spades manually within the STRONG conda environment without compromising the whole pipeline?
Alternatively would be good considering updating the recipe.

In all likelihood it's going to be an issue about insufficient RAM. How big is your dataset and how much RAM do you have available?
Update of Spades is tricky, I'll see what can be done.

I confirm, increasing the RAM solved that issue
