Hi @Faeze_Darbaniyan ,

Apologies for the delay. `anadama2` does not provide a standalone CLI command that reliably reports its version (unlike `humann --version` or `metaphlan --version`). In fact, `anadama2 --help` or `anadama2 --version` often won’t work because AnADAMA2 is primarily a Python package/library rather than an executable.

Following command will confirm the anadama2 installation.

```auto
pip show anadama2

```

Please confirm the usage of `metaphlan v4 ` without explictily providing databases as showing in the example here: [MetaPhlAn 4.1 · biobakery/biobakery Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/biobakery/biobakery/wiki/MetaPhlAn-4.1#12-running-a-single-fastq-sample)

Regards,  
Sagun
