QIIME 2 is a next-generation microbiome bioinformatics platform that is extensible, free, open-source, and community developed.
The first step to using QIIME2 is to ensure that you have initialized anaconda in your user account. See steps here if that has not been done yet.
After that, you can create your own anaconda environment and install QIIME2 in there. That leaves you in control of updates and what other packages are installed. QIIME2 provides the conda commands to use to create and install this environment. Their info is here: https://docs.qiime2.org/2024.10/install/native/#install-qiime-2-within-a-conda-environment. You can skip the installing or updating of conda steps and just use the steps under the "Install QIIME 2 within a conda environment" section. Make sure to use the commands under the "linux" tab.
