Hi @luernerliu, welcome to the :qiime2: forum!

I am looking into this, and will follow up with you on Monday morning with some next steps. Thanks for your patience! Hope you have a great weekend!

Cheers,

Hi @luernerliu, thanks again for your patience here!

My suspicion here is that there is something going on with your current conda environment, or something unusual happened during your QIIME 2 installation process. I have a few suggestions and questions for you that may help us figure out the source of this issue.

My first recommendation here would be to uninstall and re-install QIIME 2. Starting from a clean slate can sometimes resolve any issues that have come up during the installation process.

conda env remove -n qiime2-2021.4

I noticed that you are using a Linux version from 2013 - are you able to update to a newer version? This may also resolve some unusual installation issues that can come up.

If neither of these suggestions resolves the issue, please share the output of the following commands:

conda list --revision
conda info
conda env list

This should provide us with more information on the state of your environment, and will give us some next steps if the above suggestions don't resolve the issue.

Cheers,
Liz

Hi @lizgehret , Sorry for my late reply. Thanks for your help.
I've solved the problem by following your recommendation. I removed the qiime2 environment and reinstall the conda and update all. Then I recreated the qiime2 environment and ran successfully.

Really thanks for your help!
