Installation of q2-aldex2 in qiime2 2021.4 is failing during Solving environment step when using:
conda install -c dgiguere q2-aldex2
Hello @zaki,
I checked the q2-aldex2 page in the Qiime 2 Library, and it says aldex2 has only been tested with QIIME 2 version 2019.7.
I wonder if it's not compatible with the newer 2021.4 version you are running. Have you tried installing it in the older 2019.7 conda environment?
Thx for the quick response. After additional research I realized that aldex2 requires python 3.6 and therefore it works up to qiime2 2021.2. In the latest version qiime2 2021.4 switched to python 3.8 and the installation of aldex2 fails.

@zaki I'm sure you found some kind of work around to this issue of Python version mismatch, I encountered the same issue while working with qiime2 2022.2 version, I just wanted to let you know we can still work with aldex2 without downgrading our current QIIME version, for now the following code works for installation of aldex2:
pip install git+https://github.com/dgiguer/q2-aldex2.git
