installation error after updating mountainsort5

[kshtjkumar]

hi when i run mountainsort5, i get this error, can someone help ?

This means that the output folder created by spikeinterface already exists. You need to delete that folder if you want to run spike sorting again, or choose a different output folder. It's a spikeinterface consideration, not specific to this sorter.

Hi, once i delete the folder it runs, but re running it throws same error! do i need to keep deleting this folder? is there a better way out ?

In SpikeInterface I believe there is a way to specify the output folder when you call run_mountainsort5. You could specify a different folder each time. You should check the docs, but I believe it is

ss.run_mountainsort5(..., output_folder='...')
