This recipe is slightly more complicated to set up. We will have to create a conda environment where packages from QIIME 2 are segregated from packages from all other applications. The steps that you need to follow are simple.
On OS X, use the following code to create a new conda environment:
wget https://data.qiime2.org/distro/core/qiime2-2018.8-py35-osx-conda.yml conda env create -n qiime2-2018.8 --file qiime2-2018.8-py35-osx-conda.yml
On Linux, use the following code to create the environment:
wget https://data.qiime2.org/distro/core/qiime2-2018.8-py35-linux-conda.ymlconda env create -n qiime2-2018.8 --file qiime2-2018.8-py35-linux-conda.yml
If these instructions do not work, check the QIIME 2 website for an updated version ...
