Hi Kenji, excited to use the updated recruitment plots.

I just tried to install from your github repo and got the following install error:

I didn't call prepare_environment(). I do have separate bash and zshell conda installs since MacOS changed the default shell, could that be part of the confusion in the install steps? Any other potential workaround thoughts for getting it going?

Blake ran into the same problem yesterday. Call RecruitPlotEasy() again and it actually should work. The python module is loaded as recplot_py, but the code seems to have had an error in how it passed the object around during initial setup.

I'm working on solving it so that message never comes up, but the current fix is to just call the GUI again. Let me know if it works for you, and I'll upload the new code with a solution in place when I find one.

success!
