🎈 Using Streamlit

I recently added streamlit to a mini python program and got an error when running streamlit hello. Attached is an image of the error. I’d appreciate any help here!

Looks like downgrading protobuf fixed it for me “pip install protobuf==3.19.4”

I created an issue to track this protobuf error on clean streamlit install of 1.12.3 · Issue #5394 · streamlit/streamlit · GitHub
