Error: QIIME 2 has no plugin/command named 'q2-cscs'

[camilarodriguez]

Hello everyone,

I’m completely new to Qiime2 so I apologize if this question has an obvious answer. I am currently using Qiime2 2022.11 in mac OS. I installed the q2-cscs plugin according to this:

conda install -c askerdb q2-cscs
qiime dev refresh-cache

And it was installed successfully. When I then move on to working through the q2-cscs running tutorial: GitHub - madeleineernst/q2-cscs: An implementation of the chemical structural and compositional dissimilarity metric in qiime2
I end up getting an error message: Error: QIIME 2 has no plugin/command named 'q2-cscs'. after running this command

qiime cscs cscs --p-css-edges small_GNPS_edges.tsv --i-features small_GNPS_buckettable.qza --p-cosine-threshold 0.5 --p-normalization --o-distance-matrix small_cscs_distance_matrix.qza

I have tried this multiple times and cannot seem to figure out where I’m going wrong. Any advice would be much appreciated!! I also attached a picture of the terminal and the commands following the tutorial so you can see if there is an error.

Hello and welcome to Forum!

doesn't work for me as well.
Having in mind that plugin was unmaintained for 4 years there is no hope. If you want to use it the only way would be to reimplement it.
If you think, that it is a useful method don't hesitate to write a plugin!

Cheers
