Closing due to lack of necessary context. Please feel free to ask for a reopening with those contexts added.

I suspect you are using Python inside a conda environment or Jupyter Notebook. Please use a non-conda Python to install nvitop, e.g., the system Python:

/usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade --user nvitop

Then add ~/.local/bin to your PATH in your shell rcfile:

export PATH="${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH}"

Hi @KeithTt, did you run nvitop inside a Jupyter notebook or a conda environment? You may try:

pip3 install --upgrade pipx
pipx run nvitop

我在一台机子上的conda环境中安装是可以的，但是另一台机子不行，报如上错误。但是我将环境切换到base中安装，是可以的。所以有如上错误，可以考虑在base环境中安装。还有可能是我nvitop的版本比较低，当然这只是我的猜测。最后，感谢作者做了一个这么好用的工具，非常棒！
