Hey Wendy,



Looking at the error, it seems like the quantra environment has not been created in your system. Please refer to the "Install Anaconda on Mac" section of this blog.



You can create the environment (covered in the blog mentioned above) by running this command:

A) For creating new environment with machine learning libraries:

conda env create -f https://quantra.quantinsti.com/downloads/machinelearning/environment.yml

B) For creating new environment without machine learning libraries:

conda env create -f https://quantra.quantinsti.com/downloads/general/environment.yml

And then activate the quantra_py environment (this is also covered in the blog) by typing the following
command: 
conda activate quantra_py
 
Hope this helps!

Thanks
Rushda

Now I run into another issue. I tried to open the Jupyter Notebook and it gave me an error as saying 



The file /Applications/anaconda3/envs/quantra_py/bin/jupyter_mac.command does not exist.



Pls help

Hi Wendy,



If the file "/Applications/anaconda3/envs/quantra_py/bin/jupyter_mac.command" does not exist, it means that the specific command or script for starting Jupyter Notebook with that name is not present in the specified directory.



To start Jupyter Notebook, you can simply open the terminal on your Mac and enter the standard command "jupyter notebook" in your terminal.



Thanks

Rushda
