I added markup to your post for increased readability. You can do this by selecting the text and clicking the 101010 button. When you compose or edit a post that button is in your toolbar, see image below:

If you have MacQIIME installed, you must first initialize it before installing Koeken. If you do not have macqiime installed, you can still run koeken as long as you have the scripts available in your path.

Did you follow these instructions?

i use macqiime and I enter there before installation.

Would be better if you react to my post to keep the logic of this thread easy to follow.

Anyway, looks like the authors of koeken have to translate their code to py3. And so should all projects, actually.

The setup.py is made for python2. pip3 uses python3.

The fix might be easy (adapting the setup.py) but it's likely that there are more incompatibilities and you are better off using a Python2.7 installation or virtual environment.
