Hello dear moderators!  
I am new to the topic, just have installed QIIME2 and faced a plugin issue. It seems that QIIME was installed without plugins and I haven't found any information on separate plugin installation. Could you give me any advice?

Hi @nickfungi and welcome to the :qiime2: forum!

Do you still have the output generated by your QIIME 2 installation? Or the command(s) you run?

Best,

Sergio

Hi! Unfortunately, I don't. Info also doesn't show any plugins

Do you mean this command from [here](https://docs.qiime2.org/2024.10/install/native/)?

```bash
conda env create -n qiime2-amplicon-2024.10 --file https://data.qiime2.org/distro/amplicon/qiime2-amplicon-2024.10-py310-linux-conda.yml

```

If so, it looks that something went wrong with your installation. You may want to try uninstalling -\> `conda clean --all` -\> fresh install with the above command and save the output for debugging.

Best,

Sergio
