Installation command tried:

are you using a notebook or you are installing locally? maybe it’s your cache?

```auto
& pip cache purge
&& pip install great_expectations --force-reinstall

```

can you provide more details of your environment if that doesnt work

I’m facing the same. MacOS. When i do ‘which great\_expectations’, it says ’ not found’. Then i install 'pip install great\_expectations=1.2.4", it installed successfully. But when i do ‘which great\_expectations’ again, it says ‘not found’.

I found that the great\_expectations was installed in “/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.11/site-packages”, whereas other packages like pyspark are in “/opt/anaconda3/envs/py3.11.10/bin/pyspark”

In the past we can do ‘which great\_expectations’. However, now even if this is not able to do so, I’m able to do a ‘import great\_expectations’ in my python file and doing great\_expectations. **version** gives me 1.2.4 . So, i think it’s fine

Yes, that’s fine. The issue you’re encountering is because the CLI is deprecated. To check the Great Expectations version moving forward, you can also use the following command:

```auto
print(f'GX Version: {gx. __version__ }')

```

That said, your installation appears to be fine.
