Hello
I had this problem(below) when I tried to install qiime2 after installing miniconda3 because I wanted to analyze bioinformatics with ubuntu20.04.3 on WSL.
I'm just starting to study Linux and I don't understand why this happened.
python3 --version
Python 3.8.10
Thank you
~From here~
$ conda env create -n qiime2-2021.11 --file qiime2-2021.11-py38-linux-conda.yml
