No module named 'accelerate' even when it's installed

Beginners

Am I missing something? :slight_smile:
I’ve tried reinstalling all sorts of packages.

(neox-t) $ conda install accelerate
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: done

# All requested packages already installed.

Retrieving notices: ...working... done
(neox-t) $ accelerate config
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ubuntu/.local/bin/accelerate", line 3, in <module>
    import accelerate
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'accelerate'

Can you try using the conda-forge channel specifically, as shown in the installation docs?

Thanks, hadnt noticed the forge channel item originally. I did try both with pip and conda though, and the odd thing was that since accelerate was installed through conda successfully even without the forge channel, I couldnt understand why the module wasn’t found at all.

I used conda to uninstall and reinstall with the forge channel and the same thing happens unfortunately.

This is an AWS ubuntu 20.04 machine learning AMI that I upgraded to 22.04. It’s running on an G5.12xlarge instance type.

$ conda install -c conda-forge accelerate

I met the same error as you, have you solved it yet?

Does anyone have a solution to this? I’ve tried in conda envs, base system - I can’t figure out how to get python to see accelerate, even when it is installed via pip or pip3 (or conda). Pretty much all variants of this:

:**~**$ accelerate config

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/<user>/.local/bin/accelerate", line 5, in <module>

from accelerate.commands.accelerate_cli import main
