Hi Shoaib,

It looks like you have some clashing dependencies. You have a couple of options:

1. install howfairis in user space (you were installing globally before)

   pip install --user howfairis

2. install in a virtual environment

   python -m venv venv3     # makes a new directory venv3 in your current directory
   source venv3/bin/activate
   pip install --upgrade pip
   pip install howfairis
   
   # (next time you want to use howfairis, activate the virtual environment first)

3. use a dockerized version of howfairis

   # see the help
   docker run --rm fairsoftware/howfairis --help
   # run the analysis on one of you repos
   docker run --rm fairsoftware/howfairis https://github.com/sustainable-software-sustainability/sustainable-software-sustainability.github.io

Hope this helps!
