I am running moshpit-dev following tutorial from [MOSHPIT tutorials — MOSHPIT tutorials](https://moshpit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html)  
While running the followingset of commands from the tutorial  
mosh moshpit bin-contigs-metabat   
--i-contigs ./cache:contigs   
--i-alignment-maps ./cache:reads\_to\_contigs   
--p-num-threads 64   
--p-seed 100   
--p-verbose   
--o-mags ./cache:mags   
--o-contig-map ./cache:contig\_map   
--o-unbinned-contigs ./cache:unbinned\_contigs   
--verbose  
Error: QIIME 2 has no plugin/command named 'moshpit'.  
My apologies if this has been answered already. I did check the list of packages in (moshpit-dev) environment and do see a package moshpit.  
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey @adixit,

Sorry to hear you ran into this issue! We have recently renamed the q2-moshpit plugin to q2-annotate, and I noticed only now that this is not reflected in the documentation... Sorry about that! If you are using the latest moshpit-dev conda environment you should see (and use) the "annotate" plugin instead. I updated the tutorial to fix that so you should be able to see it there too.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Cheers,  
Michal
