which rescript version for qiime2 2022.11? #180

Closed PeSteff closed 3 months ago

PeSteff commented 3 months ago

Hello, I am a mostly self-taught rookie in bioinformatics and anything genetic. I have used qiime2 version 2022.11 for learning everything and all my analyses use it now, I do not want to change! I wanted to install the proper rescript version but somehow rescript for qiime2 2022.11 doesn't appear in the intall-prior-versions.md document.

Is there a reason for that? Or should I use 2022.8 or 2023.2 instead?

I appreciate your help!

HI @PeSteff,

should I use 2022.8 or 2023.2 instead?

This is because we are referring to the "Releases" we've archived. You should be able to install into 2022.8, you can also try 2023.2.

I do not want to change!

I'd recommend keeping up to date with recent versions of QIIME 2 and RESCRIPt. Not too much changes between versions. Once in a while, a parameter name might change, but that is about it. So, you can easily take what you learned from using 2022.11 and apply it to later versions of QIIME 2, including 2024.2. There are often bug fixes and other functionality added.

Keep in mind, the idea is to install each version of QIIME 2 into it's own separate environment. So, you can keep your 2022.11 environment and also have a 2024.2 environment. So, you get the best of both worlds. Also, RESCRIPt is now part of the base QIIME 2 install, i.e. included with QIIME 2 2024.2 and later.

Hi @mikerobeson , thank you for your quick reply! Then I will try the new version and if I have problems when re-running my skripts I will go back to the older version and use the releases you suggested.

I appreciate it!
