Hi Jeff, I’m psyched that you’re interested in getting your feet wet in computational seismology!
Did you follow the instructions on the obspy website for installing via Anaconda? https://github.com/obspy/obspy/wiki/Installation-via-Anaconda
What happens when you open an Anaconda Prompt and paste and run the following commands?
conda activate obspy
python -c 'import obspy; print(obspy.__version__)'
