[Linter] Error running Flake8 - Error: 3.8.3

[b8tzer]

Hi,

I've recently installed Atom and the Linter and linter-flake8 packages (through the Atom package manager) on Linux Mint 19.3.
Atom and Linter work fine, however Linter throws a flake8 error message (Error 3.8.3) whenever I open Atom or write code. Error report from the Atom console is below:

/home/user/.atom/packages/linter/lib/linter-registry.js:154 [Linter] Error running Flake8 Error: 3.8.3 (mccabe: 0.6.1, pycodestyle: 2.6.0, pyflakes: 2.2.0) CPython 2.7.17 on
Linux
at ChildProcess. (/home/user/.atom/packages/linter-flake8/node_modules/sb-exec/lib/index.js:56)
at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:194)
at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:998)
at Socket. (internal/child_process.js:403)
at Socket.emit (events.js:194)
at Pipe. (net.js:593)

Atom and linter work without error if the linter-flake8 package is disabled.
I've tested flake8 from the terminal and it works fine, just not in atom...
I tried re-installing flake8 via the terminal and pip but it did not resolve the issue.
Python 2.7 and 3.6 are installed on the OS

I'm very new to programming and it would be great if anyone has advice on resolving this issue.
Please let me know if you need more info.

Thanks.

I have the same error did you install flake8 before the linter-flake8?
