Hi Mike,
thanks for the reply. I tried what you said. This is how far I got:
conda remove --name rescript --all
conda update conda
wget https://data.qiime2.org/distro/amplicon/qiime2-amplicon-2023.9-py38-linux-conda.yml
conda env create -n qiime2-amplicon-2023.9 --file qiime2-amplicon-2023.9-py38-linux-conda.yml
rm qiime2-amplicon-2023.9-py38-linux-conda.yml
conda activate qiime2-amplicon-2023.9
qiime --help
conda install -c conda-forge -c bioconda -c qiime2 -c https://packages.qiime2.org/qiime2/2023.7/tested/ -c defaults xmltodict 'q2-types-genomics>2023.2' ncbi-datasets-pylib
but it ended up with a very long list of dependency problems. Longer than the history in my terminal, so I didn't catch all of it.
If you have any more suggestions, please feel free to leave them here.
cheers,
laur
