Hey everone. I’m trying to install transformers and datasets package using conda.
I installed pytorch using conda, and I’m using miniconda with python version 3.7. My environment is also using python 3.7.
Installation of transformers using the command

conda install -c huggingface transformers

works, but when testing the installation I get




from transformers import pipeline
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in 
File “/home/nfs/tjviering/envs/torch3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/transformers-4.4.2-py3.8.egg/transformers/init.py”, line 43, in 
File “/home/nfs/tjviering/envs/torch3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/transformers-4.4.2-py3.8.egg/transformers/dependency_versions_check.py”, line 36, in 
File “/home/nfs/tjviering/envs/torch3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/transformers-4.4.2-py3.8.egg/transformers/file_utils.py”, line 56, in 
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘importlib_metadata’




conda install importlib-metadata
File “”, line 1
conda install importlib-metadata
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax




I thought possibly the following would solve it

conda install importlib-metadata

But when testing the installation I still get trouble:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
