@sunkilmoon,
I am glad that you are interested in using Qiime. While you may find support from another member on this forum, we currently only officially support QIIME 2, specifically only the 2021.2 and 2021.4 releases. Have you considered switching to QIIME 2? If so, check out the install page.

An off-topic reply has been split into a new topic: Issues with glibc compatibility when install QIIME 2 2021.4

Please keep replies on-topic in the future.

I'd highly suggest migrating to qiime2.

Are you installing it in an environment with python 2.7?
You may also just want to install it with anaconda: https://anaconda.org/bioconda/qiime
