</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not sure who to talk to about this, but I can't get the command to install Kuibit to work.</span><br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been using the Einstein Toolkit for a few months now, and I wanted to update everything in light of the recent 'Schwarzschild' release. The toolkit itself was fine, but when I input the shell
command to install Kuibit:</span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>pip install --user -U kuibit==1.4.0</i></span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I receive the following error message:</span><br>
</div>

</div>

</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I should mention that my version of Python no longer recognizes that kuibit is installed, i.e., when I run Python I get the error:
<i>ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kuibit'</i>. This is what motivated me to update everything in the first place.</span><br>
