Hi Good day. Can I update my Qiime2 version 2017.7 to Qiime 2017.8 using the following command (Upgrading QIIME 2 — QIIME 2 2017.7.0 documentation).

sudo env "PATH=$PATH" conda update conda
sudo env "PATH=$PATH" conda install --file https://data.qiime2.org/distro/core/qiime2-2017.8-conda-linux-64.txt

Thank you.

Hi @Mike26, we don't support in-place upgrades of QIIME 2, we recommend installing the latest version alongside your existing installation (this means a new conda environment if you followed the native install directions, or the latest VirtualBox VM or AWS instance). Thanks!
