Having issues opening prompt in macOS

  • MNE version: 1.6.1
  • operating system: e.g. macOS Catalina 10.15.7
    I am unable to use MNE. Every time I attempt to open prompt new terminals, windows continuously open and do not stop until I quit the terminal. This happens when I open system info as well. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3 times now and still no fix.

How did you install MNE? Did you use our standalone installers?

What do you want to do? Please describe the steps so we can reproduce your problem (e.g. open the “Terminal” app, type “ipython”, etc.).

Hello! I am actually having the same problem using macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and MNE version: 1.7.0

When I run the application Prompt (MNE) it keeps opening a new terminal window until I quit terminal. Reinstalling does not help.

Thanks!

Hello, I’m sorry you’re having trouble with the MNE Prompt. I will try to look into this over the weekend.

Best wishes,

Circling back to this - I would prefer not to update my operating system if possible. Is there a work around or alternative to MNE Prompt?

Thanks!

I guess you could open a regular terminal and source the activation file of the environment. I’m not sure where the environment created by the installers is located, but once you find it you can run this command in a terminal:

source path/to/env/bin/activate

But I’m not entirely sure… @richard might know if this is possible with an environment created through the installers and where this environment would be located.
