Hello @Mdavrandi,

Can you show me what you see when you using `qiime info`? Also if you run `conda search -c lozuponelab q2-SCNIC` what do you see?

Mike

Hey @Mdavrandi,

Can you try running the install command again inside your qiime 2 environment? Since your search is working then the q2-scnic package should be found and be able to be installed.

Hi @michael.shaffer,

I encountered the same problem with @Mdavrandi, and my QIIME 2 version is 2018.6.0. I can search for the package but when I tried to install it the "packagenotfounderror" message came up. Would be great if you can help with this!

Thanks,  
Allie.

@AllieNguyen - did you remember to include the `lozuponelab` channel in your install command?

```bash
conda install -c lozuponelab q2-SCNIC

```

Please copy-and-paste the _complete_ error message you observed.

It looks like @michael.shaffer's install instructions might need to be updated --- the `scnic` package is up on the bioconda channel:

```bash
conda install -c lozuponelab -c conda-forge -c bioconda -c defaults --override-channels q2-SCNIC

```

This error means that conda found q2-scnic, but was unable to install it, because it conflicts with the packages in the environment you are trying to install into. If I recall correctly, q2-scnic is only compatible with QIIME 2 2018.11 (not sure why the plugin hasn't been updated to work with newer versions of QIIME 2).

> [@drish\_k](#):

Oops, you forgot to include the necessary channels (`-c lozuponelab`):

So, is it not compatible with any qiime version after 2018.11.0?

That is correct.

q2-scnic, like many other plugins, is developed by a different team of developers than QIIME 2. Most of these plugins are maintained to remain compatible with the latest release of QIIME 2, but unfortunately q2-scnic has not been updated for a while, so 2018.11 was the last release with which it was compatible.

We are all hoping @michael.shaffer or another developer can update q2-scnic soon, since it is a fairly popular one judging from the forum traffic!
