Hi, I'm trying to save a plotly image as a static .svg file using kaleido. I have kaleido-0.2.1 installed, but when I run this code on jupyter: fig1.write_image("../figures/supp1A.svg", format="svg", engine="kaleido")
I get this error:

ValueError: 
Image export using the "kaleido" engine requires the kaleido package,
which can be installed using pip:
    $ pip install -U kaleido

Why does this happens even tho kaleido is installed?

Here is something where apparently downgrading Kaleido helped. Apparently on Windows if that helps. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69016568/unable-to-export-plotly-images-to-png-with-kaleido

Otherwise if you are on Linux I do sometimes have to run pip via sudo to get things to show up in the path, although it may not be advisable to do so.
