Error running basic switch commands after installing

[Eddie Dale]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Edmund Dale, I'm a solar energy researcher from San Diego CA and I'm very interested in trying out Switch 2.0. I tried installing switch_model using: 

 conda create --name switch -c conda-forge switch_model git  

and using

pip install switch-model

The install seems to work, but when I try to run a basic command like "switch --version" I get the following error (see attached image):

Hi Edmund,

 

This looks like a problem where Windows Powershell has an internal command called “switch” that conflicts with our
“switch” command. I usually work around this by using the older cmd.exe instead of Powershell (open the Anaconda Prompt instead of Anaconda Powershell Prompt). But if you prefer Powershell, you can use “switch.exe” instead of “switch”, e.g., run “switch.exe --version” or “switch.exe solve”.

Thank you!

That makes a lot of sense. I'll give it a try right now.
