How to use artemis comparison tool?

Question

[marongiu.luigi]

Hello, I downloaded artemis comparison tool to compare the genomes of two bacteria. I tried to upload the fasta files of the bacteria and either the gb or the gff3 associated files but I got an error:

error while reading: while reading blast -m 8 data: not enough fields in this line: CP155065.1  Genbank region  1   4554595 .   +   .   ID=CP155065.1:1..4554595;Dbxref=taxon:562;Is_circular=true;Name=ANONYMOUS;collection-date=2024-04-10;country=Germany;gbkey=Src;genome=chromosome;mol_type=genomic DNA;note=derivative of K12 HB101;strain=HB101-Ho

What kind of file shall I use?

Thank you
