It wasn't recognizing the -i because it was a long "-" not a short one. Must have been from copying from word into the command line. WOW!

This is a pretty common problem on both PC/mac OS. You should turn off "smart" hyphens (and other smart things) in keyboard preferences. -
Nice work j.cappellazzi!
I hadn't heard of that hyphen issue - bit of a trap!
The "./" in my command refers to a 'relative' path. I.e., it will look for a folder that is in your current directory. This is in contrast to absolute paths, i.e., "/home/qiime/Desktop/Hilo_New/" that will work no matter where you run them from.
I think the problem with my original command is that the folder name and the name in the command were slightly different. You created a folder called "FastX-filterFastq", but the command is trying to create output here "./fastX-filterFastq/". Note the lower-case 'f' in fastX.
Anyway, glad you got it working!
Cheers,

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
