Hi,
I'm attempting to demultiplex my data and want to visualize the output qzv file. However, it's coming out as a zipped file, and when I unzip it, its no longer a .qzv file. Is there a way to unzip these files in qiime2?
Thanks!
Hello and welcome to :qiime2: !
.qzv is a special format for Visualization, they are not supposed to be unzipped. You can use CLI command qiime tools view to open them. They will contain graphic visualizations as well as a graph of data provenance.
Additionally, all .qzv files can be viewed using an online browser that is available at https://view.qiime2.org. This facilitates sharing of data and graphs between people in team.

Thank you!
I can open the .qzv files using the terminal, but they won't open when I try to use the qiime visualizer, is this an issue with my browser? Or maybe my OS (using Ubuntu)?
I am not able to help if I don't know the details of the issue.
You shouldn't be able to properly open .qzv in a terminal, because .qzv is supposed to render a webpage with a layer of HTML.
Please, provide more detais.
Sorry, I just meant that I can view them using the CLI command `qiime tools view to open them. But when I try to drag the files into the online viewer at (https://view.qiime2.org/) it says that they aren't .qzv files
Hey @jessimya,
I agree with @crusher083 that we probably need more details. Could you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing with q2view? It sounds like your visualization generally works, but it's unclear what's going wrong in the browser afterwards.
