Hi, @mcwongaagpt and @Sesame2

Thank you for your attention to RD-Agent, The problem you mentioned, you can try to solve it as follows.

# Step1. Remove the conda environment named rdagent4qlib:
conda remove -n rdagent4qlib --all -y

# Step2: Create a new environment named rdagent4qlib.
conda create -n rdagent4qlib python=3.10 -y

# Step3: Upgrade pip and install cython 
conda run -n rdagent4qlib pip install --upgrade pip cython


# Step4: Install qlib 
conda run -n rdagent4qlib pip install git+https://github.com/microsoft/qlib.git@3e72593b8c985f01979bebcf646658002ac43b00


# Step5: Install related dependencies
conda run -n rdagent4qlib pip install catboost xgboost scipy==1.11.4 tables torch

# Step6: Check if qrun exists.
which qrun

I faced the same problem. If you do have qrun in your environment, it might because your conda environment is not named as "rdagent4qlib", referring to rdagent/utils/env.py, line 664.
