Missing .qualities.npy file

[IoannaNika]

Hello, I have been trying to run viloca on some PacBio-Hifi amplicon reads. However, I am getting an error about files ending in .qualities.npy that are missing

The traceback of the error leads to viloca/local_haplotype_inference/use_quality_scores/preparation.py, line 103, in load_fasta_and_qualities

What could be the reason for this error and how could I solve it?

Thank you in advance for the help!
