Hi all,

Currently the tutorial for training classifier says to use --input-format when importing the taxonomy file, but should say --source-format

Thanks!

Hey there @emescioglu, thanks for writing! I suspect you are using an old version of QIIME 2, since we renamed that flag [back in August](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/qiime-2-2018-8-release-is-now-live/5860).

## 2018.6

## 2018.8

 ![40%20AM](https://forum-qiime2-org.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/1/1656e6e4f6bf885921a10d2fc7a90eb04568fa97.png)

## 2018.11

 ![55%20AM](https://forum-qiime2-org.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/3/3bd6ed9dda5d6812bd74bdb4f1b9ffdf8a39e385.png)

So, as you can see, the docs are slightly different depending on the version of QIIME 2 you are using.

If you would like to view the docs that match the version of QIIME 2 you are using, please specify the version in the dropdown in the upper left of the page, otherwise, I recommend you update to the [latest QIIME 2](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/qiime-2-2018-11-release-is-now-live/6879)! As an aside, all of the user docs are built and tested using the version of QIIME 2 they are written against, so that you can rest assured that, for the given version of QIIME 2, the commands listed should run as expected. Thanks!
