q2-fmt beta version installation

Dear qiime2 forum,

I am very new to using qiime2 and coding in my terminal, as I've been learning coding in R this year and have focused my attention there. However, I recently came across the new q2-fmt plugin and it looks so cool and I'm very excited to try it!! I just installed it but wanted to confirm that I installed the correct version - apologies in advance that this is a very basic question...

This is what I have done:

a) I followed the installation instructions: QIIME 2 Library

b) I specifically used this command:
conda env create --name q2-fmt-amplicon-2024.10 --file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qiime2/q2-fmt/refs/heads/dev/environment-files/q2-fmt-qiime2-amplicon-2024.10.yml

c) I can see that there is a new version: q2-fmt-2024.11.1-beta

d) I cannot seem to locate the .yml for installing this updated version and I was wondering if this exists? Or perhaps the update has occurred within the q2-fmt-qiime2-amplicon-2024.10.yml itself?

Thank you so much in advance for your help! I greatly appreciate it,
Zoë

Hi @zippyzo,

I think you did everything right.

It is the latter case you mentioned, where that release is already in the environment.
We can see that because the last line of this file:

Has a zip file with a URL (and version) that matches the zip file in your linked release. So that's the one that gets installed on top of our 2024.10 release.

I would also expect a release on top of the 2025.4 amplicon distributino sometimes soon, but that will show up in the library when it's out, and the process will be identical.
