Hi,
Using your fantastic QIIME2 doc and forum discussion, I have managed to generate rooted tree for phylogenetic diversity analyses.
Once again I have stopped by the following error message.
Error: QIIME 2 plugin 'diversity' has no action 'core-metrics-phylogenetic'.
Below, please find the list of the files that I have generated as well as the command used when I tried to generate the -dir core -metrics-results.

But When I write the command without -Phylogenetic, I have got the following result.

Hi again,
I think, the problem seems fixed now!
Since Qiime2 2017.9 is not yet available for windows user, I am still using 2017.8 version.
The above error message is due to the usage of new command ‘core-metrics-phylogenetic’ from Qiime2 2017.9 into the older version 2017.8. Now the problem is fixed by omitting the ' -phylogenetic'. Hope 2017.9 version will soon be available to windows users.
Please, give me a sign if I am on the right track!!!
Thanks a lot for your unreserved support.
Best,
Kedir

Hi @KEDIR_HAMZA --- you are right! `core-metrics-phylogenetic` was added in QIIME 2 2017.9! We are building the Virtual Machine Images as I write this message (🎉🎉!) - keep your eyes peeled on the [release announcement](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/qiime-2-2017-9-release-is-now-live/1160/67) - we will follow up there when those images are available. Thanks!
