Does anyone know how to run EUKulele with an existing database?

Question

[O.rka]

I want to run EUKulele with proteins from MAGs I have so I ran the following command:

EUKulele -m mags --p_ext faa -f --scratch tmp -o eukulele_output --sample_dir S005_R2_POST-PE-N728-S516-1_S23/output/genomes/ --database /usr/local/scratch/CORE/jespinoz/db/eukulele

but I got the following error:

Running EUKulele with command line arguments, as no valid configuration file was provided.
Setting things up...
Could not successfully install all external dependent software.
Check DIAMOND, BLAST, BUSCO, and TransDecoder installation.
Specified reference directory, reference FASTA, and protein map/taxonomy table not found. Using database in location: /usr/local/scratch/core/jespinoz/db/eukulele.

Specified reference database, /usr/local/scratch/core/jespinoz/db/eukulele is not supported.

What should I do to run EUKulele with an existing database that I've already downloaded (EukProt)?

Edit:

Got it, you have to specify the subdirectory:

EUKulele -m mags --p_ext faa -f --scratch tmp -o eukulele_output --sample_dir S005_R2_POST-PE-N728-S516-1_S23/output/genomes/ --reference_dir /usr/local/scratch/CORE/jespinoz/db/eukulele/eukprot/ --alignment_choice diamond
