hello! i just started playing around with elementary yesterday and have been trying to generate the report via

edr report

. however, i get the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'dbt'

. im fairly certain it is because i have dbt installed in a different environment (

/home/cj/miniconda3/envs/cj_dbt/bin

). is there a way to have edr look at that environment in order to run

edr report

?

Hi @CJ Johanson - we do require `dbt`to be installed as a part of the same environment as

edr

. This is a bit surprising though as

dbt-core

is a requirement for

edr

so it should be installed automatically. If you run:

pip freeze | grep -i dbt

in the

edr

env, do you see dbt installed?

im not super familiar with environments and such, ive just been working with what was given to me so apologies for any dumb questions. when i run

which edr

i get

/home/cj/.local/bin/edr

but i know thats not where dbt is installed. yesterday i ran

/home/cj/miniconda3/envs/cj_dbt/bin/pip install elementary-data

thinking that would install edr in the same environment. any ideas where i went wrong? or am i not giving enough good information for you to know where i went wrong?

no worries you need to activate the virtual environment for

edr

to automatically point there this should work:

/home/cj/miniconda3/envs/cj_dbt/bin/activate
which edr

or alternatively you can run

edr

directly like this:

/home/cj/miniconda3/envs/cj_dbt/bin/edr
