I recently installed hnn_core and it broke my docker installation of HNN GUI

I am attempting the pip installation for mac
I ran the prechecks and it appears Xquartz, NEURON, and python are all installed properly
I ran $ conda create -y -n hnn python=3.7 openmpi pyqtgraph pyopengl matplotlib scipy psutil , and all seem to go well.
I got to this step

I ran $source activate hnn , without issue
I ran $pip install nlopt , and have an error.. I left of NEURON in this step because I think NEURON is installed properly

Fatal Python error: initfsencoding: unable to load the file system codec
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'
