I’m able to load the MedCat vocab, but I get this error when trying to load cdb. I can’t figure out what exactly is causing this error and haven’t been able to find much helpful information online. Has anyone else run into this issue, and/or does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Did you make sure to install medcat as a package using pip in your local environment? (As opposed to just cloning the repo).

If you have, you’ll need to provide a little more context:

- What version of medcat have you installed? i.e `pip show medcat`
- What version of python are you using? i.e `python --version`
- What is the exact code you’re running? The full stack trace would also help
