Hello! I´d like to update my qiime version but this error appears:

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

Hi @malenaamer!

We make a distinction between “updating” and “upgrading”, where updating would involve getting the latest patches (it isn’t likely we’ll release patches during alpha) and upgrading would involve getting the next release.

It looks like you are following the updating instructions for 2017.4 (which you don’t have installed yet). I suspect you just want to upgrade to 2017.4 in which case you can just follow the normal install instructions.

You’ll notice we create environments that include the release name as part of the environment name, meaning you can have as many QIIME 2 releases installed alongside each other as you care to have. So following the above instructions will give you a qiime2-2017.4 environment which you can activate instead of your qiime2-2017.2 environment.
