Hey @moryfranklin22,

Looking at the tracelog and seeing /miniconda3/lib/python3.5/runpy.py makes it seem like the npm start command was ran outside of your qiime2 conda environment. If this were ran within your conda environment that has the qiime2 system installed, it should be failing with a path of /miniconda3/envs/<your_env_name>/lib/python3.5/runpy.py instead of the root runpy.py. Try to run source activate <your_env_name> before calling the npm start command and let me know if it solves your issue!
