When i run the commond “nextclade   
–in-order   
–input-fasta=data/sars-cov-2/sequences.fasta   
–input-root-seq=data/sars-cov-2/reference.fasta   
–genes=E,M,N,ORF1a,ORF1b,ORF3a,ORF6,ORF7a,ORF7b,ORF8,ORF9b,S   
–input-gene-map=data/sars-cov-2/genemap.gff   
–input-tree=data/sars-cov-2/tree.json   
–input-qc-config=data/sars-cov-2/qc.json   
–input-pcr-primers=data/sars-cov-2/primers.csv   
–output-json=output/nextclade.json   
–output-csv=output/nextclade.csv   
–output-tsv=output/nextclade.tsv   
–output-tree=output/nextclade.auspice.json   
–output-dir=output/   
–output-basename=nextclade”,  
i get the nextclade.auspice.json file.  
But how can i convert “nextclade.auspice.json” to a phylogenetic tree picture just like in the web?  
Thanks.

you can use [auspice.us](http://auspice.us) to to visualize the tree. Just drop the file on the site.

Thanks a lot! This website allows me to download the image of the phylogenetic tree,but the nextclade web cannot.
