Attribute error when running Tetrad

[DiegoJ-Elias]

Hi, I just installed tetrad and I tried to run an analysis. The analysis started but after a few lines I get the following error (see below):

""" AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode' """

Any help on how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated

Best, Diego

Did you install from conda? The conda package is a bit out of date. You can fix this by cloning the repository and installing the package by hand, like this (before you do this you need to change to a directory where you want the tetrad code to live):

git checkout https://github.com/eaton-lab/tetrad.git
pip install -e tetrad

If you are using conda you need to be sure you have activated the environment you want tetrad installed in.

Let me know if it doesn't work for you.

Hi Isaac, I did use conda to install tetrad previously.

Your suggestion of cloning the repo and installing it manually worked!

Thank you for your prompt response!

Best, Diego
