# qiime2 (the QIIME 2 framework)

![](https://github.com/qiime2/qiime2/workflows/ci-dev/badge.svg)

Source code repository for the QIIME 2 framework.

QIIME 2™ is a powerful, extensible, and decentralized microbiome bioinformatics
platform that is free, open source, and community developed. With a focus on
data and analysis transparency, QIIME 2 enables researchers to start an
analysis with raw DNA sequence data and finish with publication-quality figures
and statistical results.

Visit [https://qiime2.org](https://qiime2.org) to learn more about the QIIME 2
project.

## Installation

Detailed instructions are available in the
[documentation](https://docs.qiime2.org/).

## Users
