[FEATURE]: "Improve dlp-cli Debugging with Directory Check Warning"

[codingwithsurya]

Feature Name

Add pre-installation check logging to dlp-cli to advise on removing the existing miniforge3/envs/dlp directory to prevent conflicts.

Your Name

Surya Subramanian

Description

When attempting to reinstall or update the backend using dlp-cli backend install, if the miniforge3/envs/dlp directory already exists, it can lead to issues that are not immediately apparent to the user. This scenario can cause confusion and slow down the debugging process.

It would be beneficial for the dlp-cli tool to include a logging statement before attempting the installation or update process that checks for the existence of the miniforge3/envs/dlp directory. If found, the tool should log a clear message advising the user to remove or rename the existing directory to prevent potential conflicts. A suggested message could be:

• [WARNING] The 'miniforge3/envs/dlp' directory already exists. To avoid potential conflicts, please consider removing this directory before reinstalling the backend.

Adding this feature would improve user experience by making the debugging process more straightforward and reducing the time spent identifying common installation issues.
