solving environment

please assitst i am unable to install qiime 2-2024.5. this command does not go through conda env create -n qiime2-amplicon-2024.5 --file https://data.qiime2.org/distro/amplicon/qiime2-amplicon-2024.5-py39-linux-conda.yml
it keeps saying this "SpecNotFound: Invalid name, try the format: user/package"

and when I use "wget https://data.qiime2.org/distro/amplicon/qiime2-amplicon-2024.5-py39-linux-conda.yml
conda env create -n qiime2-amplicon-2024.5 --file qiime2-amplicon-2024.5-py39-linux-conda.yml
it says CondaValueError: Malformed version string '~': invalid character(s).

Hello @Nondumiso_L_Ntuli and welcome to the :qiime2: forum!

A similar problem is addressed in this post. They try to install QIIME 2 directly on Windows, which is not supported. What OS are you using?

Best,

Sergio

Hello again @Nondumiso_L_Ntuli ,

It would be great if you could provide us with more details. Which data are you trying to import? What is the full command you used?

The "No such file or directory" message suggests either your sequences are not where you think they are, or yourself (i.e., your working directory) is not the one you think it is.

This assumes there is a directory reads in your current working directory, which may (or may not) be Desktop. As you say here:

It looks like your sequences are in Desktop/reads. Check that this is the case, and if so, check that your working directory is Desktop.

Best,

Sergio
