[BUG] prospector keeps asking for install, even though it is already installed about prospector HOT 6 CLOSED

Solved. Will just quickly post solution in case someone else runs into same issue:

Apparently I had also prosector installed outside of any environment, which i discovered because which prospector showed me some path that clearly wasn't an environment (i.e. not something similar to "/home//miniconda3/bin/prospector").

Solution is:
run conda deactivate repeatedly, until I was not in any environment anymore (not even base).
run pip uninstall prospector
go back to environment where I was actually trying to use it and now it works.

Does this happen if you install an older version of prospector too? Or only the most recent 1.10 release?

I just tested with 1.9.0 and get the same issue and in one of the existing environments I have 1.7.7 and also same.

Can you try it without conda? Often things like this are conda-related.

How do I do this without conda? If I start my Ubuntu terminal, it automatically puts me in the conda base environment.

Using regular python and virtualenv?

I'm afraid I have no idea what your setup is so I cannot help you there, you'll have to ask whoever set it up for help perhaps. I don't have enough information yet except that it does not work for your environment so I don't know what to say right now.

If you can try installing in different ways then it would lead to information that would help me.
