I can't get demux_paired () to work in sdk

[Rodrigo_Peralta]

Qiime version 2020.11

Code:
from qiime2 import Artifact, Metadata
from qiime2.plugins.cutadapt.methods import demux_paired
seqs_path = ‘correspondig path’
metadata_file = ‘corresponding path’
metadata = Metadata.load(metadata_file)
mux = Artifact.import_data(‘MultiplexedPairedEndBarcodeInSequence’,seqs_path)
paired_end_demux, untrimmed = demux_paired(mux, metadata.get_column(‘barcode-sequence’))

Error:

Please help me with this

Hi @Rodrigo_Peralta - this looks to me like your environment might be broken (missing cutadapt?) or perhaps the host environment is leaking env data into your QIIME 2 env. Have you tried creating a new QIIME 2 env and running from in there? If not, start there and let us know. If you still have problems, please activate your env and run the following command, and copy and paste all results here:

env

Thanks!
