Hello
I have seen the Alpha Diversity Raincloud Plots on the new q2 view page. From the provenance tab, I see that q2 fmt commands were used to create this plot. I found that q2-fmt should have been release with 2023.9 (and later), but I cannot find it e.g. in the q2-amplicon-2024.2 release. I looked at the release info on the docs.qiime2.org, but could not find it in the other releases (shotgun, tiny). Same with q2 library.
Do I have to install it as a separate conda environment as explained on Github qiime2/q2-fmt?
Best,

Hi @arwqiime,
Q2-fmt is being currently still being developed, but we are quickly moving towards official release.
q2-fmt is however a community plugin so it won't be part of an amplicon or metagenomic release. Instead its an add-on to all distributions of qiime2!
q2-fmt originally had its own distribution, but that has now been deprecated. Currently, Our community plugins system is being refactored. So Check back on the q2-fmt github for more infomation regarding easier install and our first officially release too!
I don't want to hold you up if you want to try out the raincloud plot. Right now the easiest way to install q2-fmt is:
In a qiime2 env run:
pip install git+https://github.com/qiime2/q2-stats.git
pip install frictionless
pip install git+https://github.com/qiime2/q2-fmt.git
Then run qiime info and make sure you have fmt and stats as plugins and you should be good to go!
