Hello,
I have an interesting situation
When I use code without plot checkM workes perfectly and provides a lof of output tables, but when I add plot option it cant recognize output dirrectory.

I really want to get plots, can anyone help me with that?

Are there any code that would provide all plots available?
Like it says here - Save all plots: The user has the option of generating and downloading all possible plots from the CheckM lineage workflow. Note that selecting this option will slow down the runtime (perhaps 10-20%).

So, I used:
"""
/home/miniconda3/bin/checkm lineage_wf bin_qa_plot -t 16 -x fa /home/spades_assembly/metabat2_dir/bin/ /home/spades_assembly/metabat2_dir/bin/checkm_bins
usage: checkm
{data,tree,tree_qa,lineage_set,taxon_list,taxon_set,analyze,qa,lineage_wf,taxonomy_wf,gc_plot,coding_plot,tetra_plot,dist_plot,gc_bias_plot,nx_plot,len_hist,marker_plot,unbinned,coverage,tetra,profile,ssu_finder,merge,outliers,modify,unique,test}

checkm: error: unrecognized arguments: /home/spades_assembly/metabat2_dir/bin/checkm_bins
"""
But when I delete bin_qa_plot:
"""
/home/miniconda3/bin/checkm lineage_wf -t 16 -x fa /home/spades_assembly/metabat2_dir/bin/ /home/spades_assembly/metabat2_dir/bin/checkm_bins

Any ideas?
Thank you
Best,
Alla
