Error when typing streamlit

Using Streamlit
1

Hi All,

Below is the output of me typing just the command: streamlit

I have tried both in and out of virtual environments, reinstalled streamlit etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I am running ubuntu

streamlit

Hi @jareda, welcome to the Streamlit community!

This error occurs because the protobuf library needs to be updated:

I’ll work on getting this into our documentation to make it easier for people to find when they search.

Best,
Randy

Hi Randy,

Thank you, I could have sworn I updated protobuf, but I must not have. That fixed the issue. Thank you.
