I think I saw this issue before and it was fixed on a newer release. Can you update your pip version?

[DiddiLeija]

Actually, this is a duplicate of #8676.

As I read on #8676, I recommend you to read #8676 (comment) for more information.

Yes that worked now getting a different error:

    Found existing installation: ruamel-yaml 0.15.87
ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'ruamel-yaml'. 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.

[DiddiLeija]

This may be caused by a badly installed ruamel-yaml (via distutils). Can you try to delete it and try again?

Yes had to rm /usr/local/bin/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ruamel_yaml-0.15.87-py3.7.egg-info and rm -rf /usr/local/bin/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ruamel_yaml then reinstall worked.
