(base) C:\Users\bucke\OpenAeroStruct>pip install -e .
Obtaining file:///C:/Users/bucke/OpenAeroStruct
Installing collected packages: openaerostruct
Found existing installation: openaerostruct 2.1.0
Cannot uninstall 'openaerostruct'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

What's going on?

There are a few solutions you could use. I recommend trying 1) first, then 2).

  1. Perform these commands in terminal (steps obtained from Upgrading to pip 10: It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall. pypa/pip#5247 (comment)):
    pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pip==9.0.3
    pip install -e . --disable-pip-version-check
    pip install --upgrade pip

  2. You can uninstall your existing installation of OpenAeroStruct by deleting the egg-link file from your site-packages folder in your Python installation.

Let me know if these resolve your issue.

I talked to Will offline and he's installed correctly now.
