RunLLM I'm getting an error when pip installing arize-phoenix error: uninstall-distutils-installed-package I've tried to pip uninstall blinker and then re-install it separately, but that is also erroring.
The error you're encountering is likely due to a conflict with the blinker package installed via distutils. This is a known issue when installing packages that have dependencies managed by different package managers.
To resolve this, you can try the following steps:
1. Uninstall blinker: Ensure that blinker is completely uninstalled.
pip uninstall blinker
2. Reinstall blinker: Reinstall blinker using pip.
pip install blinker
3. Install arize-phoenix: Proceed with installing arize-phoenix.
pip install arize-phoenix
If the issue persists, you may need to ensure that your environment is clean and free from conflicting installations. Creating a new virtual environment can help isolate the dependencies and avoid conflicts.
Would you like more detailed steps on creating a new virtual environment and installing arize-phoenix?

RunLLM This is specifically happening inside google colab environment. I've restarted my runtime and still seeing this error. This is the error when running 'pip uninstall blinker': Cannot uninstall blinker 1.4 鈺扳攢> It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.
The error you're encountering is due to the blinker package being installed via distutils, which makes it difficult to uninstall using pip. This is a common issue in environments like Google Colab where some packages are pre-installed using distutils.
To resolve this, you can try the following steps:
1. Force Reinstall blinker: Use the --ignore-installed flag to force reinstall blinker.
pip install --ignore-installed blinker
2. Install arize-phoenix: Proceed with installing arize-phoenix after forcing the reinstall of blinker.
pip install arize-phoenix
If the issue persists, you can try creating a new virtual environment within Colab to isolate the dependencies:
1. Install virtualenv: Install the virtualenv package if it's not already installed.
!pip install virtualenv
2. Create a Virtual Environment: Create a new virtual environment.
!virtualenv venv
3. Activate the Virtual Environment: Activate the virtual environment.
!source venv/bin/activate
4. Install arize-phoenix: Install arize-phoenix within the virtual environment.
!pip install arize-phoenix
Would you like more detailed steps on any of these methods?
