Hi there @Benard - I moved this topic over to Other Bioinformatics Tools, since this question is not related to QIIME 2. We aren’t able to provide support on this forum for QIIME 1, but maybe someone will peek in and offer some advice. As well, it is worth noting the QIIME 2 officially succeeded QIIME 1 at the start of 2018, and as such there is no longer any official support or maintenance of QIIME 1. We recommend you take a look at the QIIME 2 Getting Started Guide to get geared up with QIIME 2. If you have any questions, well, now you know where to find us!
