Error with urllib3 version while installing ParlAI

[Simon-Grome]

Hello, I have used the Quick-start installation instructions to install ParlAI on a linux system. When running the parlai check command, I receive the following error: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'urllib3>=1.26.5' distribution was not found and is required by parlai

After using pip install urllib3==1.26.5 and retrying parlai check however, I am met with a new error: pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (urllib3 1.26.5 (/home/grome.7/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages), Requirement.parse('urllib3!=1.25.0,!=1.25.1,<1.26,>=1.21.1'), {'requests'})

Essentially, it seems like ParlAI is asking me to install a version of urllib3 that is both >=1.26.5 and <1.26.

I am unable to use any of ParlAI's features without resolving this issue- is there a way to fix it?

on my personal env, I have urllib3==1.26.9, so maybe just try installing with that?
