Hello! I'm trying to download QIIME2 on my MacMini(intel clip).
I originally planned to use conda to install QIIME2, but encountered installation issues with the genomeinfodbdata package.
Then I decided to use Docker, and everything went smoothly. However, when I entered the command “docker run”, the container only started for a while and immediately exited，I tried using “docker start” command and it also did the same. Can you help me？thanks 
I only recently learned about Docker
Good morning @Solflipped,
Welcome to the forums!
The genomeinfodbdata package is only needed for a few plugins. That first install is probably okay! If you see another error about genomeinfodbdata, we can help you reinstall it or you can search the forusm for how to do this.
Docker often opens up web services that run and stay running.
But Qiime2 commands work in batches, so once the command is finished, the docker container safely shuts down, which is what you saw here. So your Docker deployment is probably also okay!
Here is how you could run Qiime2 commands with Docker:
thanks , now I can enter Docker containers in interactive mode, which I couldn't do before. Overall, thank you for your help
