Hi @Eman,

Everything you need is on the [Data Resources page](https://docs.qiime2.org/2020.6/data-resources/), which was updated to reflect the `2020.6` release.

Specifically, the pre-made SILVA 138 classifiers are [here](https://docs.qiime2.org/2020.6/data-resources/#taxonomy-classifiers-for-use-with-q2-feature-classifier), and the files used to make them are [here](https://docs.qiime2.org/2020.6/data-resources/#silva-16s-18s-rrna). If you'd like a little more control preparing a SILVA database in your own way, feel free to make use of our new tool: [RESCRIPt](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/processing-filtering-and-evaluating-reference-sequence-data-with-rescript/15494). This was used to make the current QIIME 2 compatible SILVA 138 release.

-Best wishes!  
-Mike
