Dear Devcloud admin and support

when I install any user python package i got the following error, you can use the following command to reproduce the error :

python3 -m pip install tqdm --user

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Could you please try installing the package after creating a conda environment.

Please follow the below steps:

1. Create a conda environment:

conda create -n env_name python=3.6

2. Activate the environment:

source activate env_name

3. Install the package:

python3 -m pip install tqdm --user

If the issue still persists please let us know.

Thanks

Hi,

You can activate the oneAPI environment before installing the package.

Please find the below command to activate the oneAPI environment:

source /opt/intel/inteloneapi/setvars.sh

Please make sure that the python used is "/glob/development-tools/versions/oneapi/beta09/inteloneapi/intelpython/latest/bin/python" using "which python" command.

Also you can try to install the tqdm package using conda:

conda install -c conda-forge tqdm

If the issue still persists please share your user id and give us the permission to access your DevCloud account. We will inform the concerned team.

Thanks.
