Troubleshooting

InstanceLib is advanced machine learning software. In some situations, you might run into unexpected behavior. See below for solutions to problems.

Unknown Command “pip”

The command line returns one of the following messages:

-bash: pip: No such file or directory
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

First, check if Python 3.8 is installed by issuing one of the following commands:

python --version
python3 --version
python3.8 --version

If this does not return 3.8 or higher, then Python is not (correctly) installed. We recommend making a virtual environment in which you install your packages. You can create a virtual environment .venv in your working directory as follows (adapt your python command if necessary).

python -m venv .venv
