Hi, there:

please see the screenshot below. I am keeping getting an error.

 ![11](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/nextstrain/original/1X/ab50c547459b676eb429e20c926af4b5b022f57d.png)

Is this because that “Setting default environment to docker” instead of “native”? If so, how to change the default environment to native?

Thank you & Best regards,  
Jie

Hi @jiehuang001 - you can run each individual `nextstrain` command in a native (non-docker) environment by adding `--native`, e.g. `nextstrain build --native ...`.

Changing the defaults is [a work in progress](https://github.com/nextstrain/cli/issues/110)!
