PhyloSift error running (Can't locate App/Cmd/Setup.pm in @INC)

[ghost]

After downloading and unzipping the folder, I ran the first command with the test dataset and having the following error:

[mdimdadi@rameshgoel PhyloSift]$ bin/phylosift all --output=results --paired tutorial_data/HMP_1.fastq.gz tutorial_data/HMP_2.fastq.gz

Hello @mdimdadi,
I have the same issue but I don't know how to fix it. Do you have any idea now ?

This package seems to be dead. The authors haven’t touched the repository in years and key resource files on their website are missing. I would find another option that’s actively maintained.
