Hi,

when I try to run streamlit hello in my terminal, I get:

streamlit hello

How can I resolve it?

Hey @DeWa,

Could you give us the following information?

Debug info

  • Streamlit version: (get it with $ streamlit version)
  • Python version: (get it with $ python --version)
  • Using Conda? PipEnv? PyEnv? Pex?
  • OS version:
  • Browser version:

Hey thanks, I deleted .streamlit in the home folder and everything worked fine again.

“.streamlit” is a hidden folder in the home folder, maybe that is the source of confusion here.

One way to solve this entire problem is to delete a specific file (i.e. config.toml) inside the “.streamlit” folder. Execute the prompt and search manually for the folder:
cd ~/.streamlit

Delete it:
rm config.toml

Good luck!

many people said deleting config.toml file will solve the problem, but I didn’t find the file either
I think it’s by default in windows so i can’t edit it or delete it
