Download NCBI Genomes by taxonomic id - ncbi-genome-download not working

[nush320]

Hi I downloaded the ncbi-genome-download software as instructed and it seems to be installed when I check using which ncbi-download-genome.
It prints out the following - /home/bstarnush/miniconda3/bin/ncbi-genome-download
When I do the next command - NCBI-genome-download --genera Streptomyces bacteria --dry-run | head I get a KeyError: 'assembly-accession'. I have upgraded pip and tried to reinstall again. Same error.
I also tried the following: conda install -c bioconda ncbi-genome-download I got the same error again.

Looks like the same issue as reported here:

kblin/ncbi-genome-download#209

Weird I couldn't find that when I googled :(
Thanks so much!

Hi, please see my comment in the same thread I made. Seems to work now but its giving me a "BrokenPipeError" at the end: kblin/ncbi-genome-download#210 (comment)

broken pipe is usually not an error, it means you interrupted the flow out the output

if you redirect into a file it should work fine

 run tool > output_file

Didn't quiet understand that. Do you mean I run this: ncbi-genome-download --genera Streptomyces bacteria --dry-run | head with a > output_file? And if so what type of output file. P.S. I ran the command without | head and it printed everything fine.
