Running Maple 14.0.2

Have successfully installed Indigo with earlier procedure, but problem with the new installation method [https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-indigo](https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-indigo):

Installation runs without errors:

**\>\> pip install tutor-indigo**

But the plugin does not install:

**\>\> tutor plugins enable indigo**  
Error: plugin ‘indigo’ is not installed.

Anyone that has similar experiences?

Hello! I hope you’re doing well this week 👍🏼

I think this has happened to me before and it all had to do with some of this:

1. Ensure your tutor root is correctly configured: tutor config printroot, if not, set it to the correct path
2. The virtual env you’re using is actually the one you’re targetting

Thank you, @mgmdi! (To be honest, Scandinavian style: My weekend was not that good since our cat was run over by one of those electric scooters. We pride ourselves of good public health insurance in this country, but that is for people. The cat was unhappy. Me too. And cat hospitals are EXPEN$IVE!! 😉

Printroot is at

/home//.local/share/tutor

When I run

**\>\> pip install tutor-indigo**

as user root, the plugin is installed and may be activated

I find no error messages running

**tutor images build openedx**  
**tutor local start -d**  
**tutor local settheme indigo**

Site themes are set to “indigo” in Django adm panel.

… but the new theme is still not activated.

Do you see what I do wrong?

Oh god! I’m so sorry to hear that. Is your cat okay now?

I didn’t notice this before but you said you’re running Maple but you’re currently using 14.x versions which correspond to Nutmeg (latest Open edX release). Which version of tutor are you using? If you want to use Maple then use [this](https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/releases/tag/v13.3.1) release. But if you intended to use Nutmeg, then the versions are okay, but you have installed indigo 13.x when it should be 14.x

Can you check that first?

Tanks for feedback! My post contained a slip-of-tongue. I do indeed use Nutmeg… Sorry. (and the cat is improving with intensive private care … 😉

Hi! I am running into the same problem right now with a new install of indigo on Olive. I first tried to create a custom version of indigo:

- Fork indigo and clone to local machine

- Make changes and then `pip install -e repo`

- No errors on install, but when I `tutor plugins list`, its not there

So instead I tried to use the builtin tutor version using the following steps

- `tutor plugins install indigo`

No errors with install, but still the new plugin is not listed. Any ideas?

hi @the-cor-man ,  
check plugins root using this command  
`tutor plugins printroot`  
go to that directory and do this

```auto
git clone https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-indigo.git
pip install -e ./tutor-indigo
tutor plugins enable indigo

```
