Auto-installing missing Python modules... but modules are already installed
I just installed 1.3.0 on a LINUX system
I downloaded the mbed-os-example-blinky
When I try to use it, as an example
mbed detect
it responds
[mbed] Auto-installing missing Python modules... [mbed] WARNING: Unable to auto-install required Python modules. --- [mbed] WARNING: ----------------------------------------------------------------- [mbed] WARNING: The mbed OS tools in this program require the following Python modules: colorama, pyserial, requests [mbed] WARNING: You can install all missing modules by running "pip install -r requirements.txt" in "/home/maris/MBED-ARM/mbed-os-example-blinky/mbed-os" [mbed] WARNING: On Posix systems (Linux, Mac, etc) you might have to switch to superuser account or use "sudo" ---
I tried to install it more times but the result was:

It seems your system has a version of colorama and PySerial installed that doesn't match the versions needed by mbed tools. You can run the command with upgrade but not knowing what other part of your operating environment installed these, there might be a version conflict and pip doesn't handle this well unless you work in virtual environments.
If you try with upgrade, this should satisfy the mbed tools needs but could bork another program or set of tools that installed these specific versions.
