After clean install Install Instructions

I encounter this error.

Are you possibly running into this?

That definitely looks like a likely candidate.

Good to know I’m not going mad :sweat_smile:

Thanks for reporting this and making the links already!
I created a tracker issue on the pymc-feedstock which is probably where we’ll have to fix it.

As a quick fix, the following command should fix it:

conda install "setuptools <65"

PyMC 4.1.5 should come out soon, and I expect upgrading should also fix this issue.

For the latest info, please check the above link to the pymc-feedstock.

It looks like the breaking change in setuptools is now also being reverted so that should flow through in due course as well.
