In an attempt to access and run Matlab code via Jupyter notebook and Python, I tried installing 'matlab\_kernal' (w/ typo) and 'matlab\_kernel' as suggested by a blog, I didn't realize I needed MatLab, not MatLab Compiler Runtime.

I received the error:
"Collecting matlab\_kernal
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement matlab\_kernal (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for matlab\_kernal"

As a work around, I found python code on GitHub that calculated the metric I wanted, but the author said I'd need to install 'MPI' from 'mpi4py'.

However, it seems my Terminal is now stuck on my previous installation attempts of 'matlab\_kernal'. It lists my previous attempts to install these packages (see all white text above red error message in the attached screen capture).

I'm running: pip 18.1 from /anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)

I've tried:

* pip uninstall 'package'
* Terminal restart
* laptop restart
