Plugin conflict when using bean-web and beancount 2.3.6

[U K]

I'm a newbie and trying to get start with beancount v2.

I get the following error when trying to run bean-web, curious if anyone has run into it and knows how to address it.

I get no errors when starting bean-web on my file, but as soon as I point my browser at localhost:8080, my terminal spits out this error:

Thanks!

bean-web has been [long deprecated](https://groups.google.com/g/beancount/c/7NUOI3HafXc/m/bWb4KDQaAQAJ). I don't even know if it's being maintained. [Fava](https://github.com/beancount/fava) is probably what you are looking for.

Thanks. I was following the tutorial in the documentation, which I thought was up-to-date for beancount v2.

I will try fava, thanks for the pointer.

Indeed, this section seems like it could use an update. I’ll see if I can help get it updated. Welcome, BTW!
