--file [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qiime2/distributions/refs/heads/dev/2024.10/amplicon/released/qiime2-amplicon-ubuntu-latest-conda.yml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qiime2/distributions/refs/heads/dev/2024.10/amplicon/released/qiime2-amplicon-ubuntu-latest-conda.yml)"  
but getting this error " Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): failed

UnavailableInvalidChannel: HTTP 404 NOT FOUND for channel channel\_ursk [https://conda.anaconda.org/channel\_ursk](https://conda.anaconda.org/channel_ursk)

The channel is not accessible or is invalid.

You will need to adjust your conda configuration to proceed.  
Use `conda config --show channels` to view your configuration's current state,  
and use `conda config --show-sources` to view config file locations."

please guide me for installing qiime2

Hi @I_am_Biology,

It looks like you created two posts for the same question - I've merged them into one topic to help keep things tidy. A friendly reminder to please be patient and wait for a reply from a QIIME 2 moderator instead of double posting. This helps us keep the forum organized for everyone.

With regards to your question, here's a helpful portion of the error message you received:

```auto
The channel is not accessible or is invalid.

You will need to adjust your conda configuration to proceed.
Use `conda config --show channels` to view your configuration's current state,
and use `conda config --show-sources` to view config file locations.

```

Conda's recommendation is a great next step here - go ahead and run the two commands listed above, and please provide the output in your response. This will help us to identify where this spurious channel is originating from.

Thanks! 🦎
