Errors using commands: cnv2nc, cnvdump, ctdqc

Hello!
I am trying to get the Seabird python module to work that I installed using PIP. In command line when i write "seabird," it shows seabird help. But when using seabird commands like "C:\seabird cnvdump sbe19_test.cnv" I get the errors shown below. I am using Miniconda3, Python 3.9.1, NetCDF is installed, also NumPy. What could be the problem? Maybe I should uninstall Miniconda and install the Anaconda?

Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\programdata\miniconda3\lib\runpy.py", line 197, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "c:\programdata\miniconda3\lib\runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "C:\ProgramData\Miniconda3\Scripts\seabird.exe\__main__.py", line 7, in <module> File "c:\programdata\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\click\core.py", line 1130, in __call__ return self.main(*args, **kwargs) File "c:\programdata\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\click\core.py", line 1055, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "c:\programdata\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\click\core.py", line 1657, in invoke return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx)) File "c:\programdata\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\click\core.py", line 1404, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, **ctx.params) File "c:\programdata\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\click\core.py", line 760, in invoke return __callback(*args, **kwargs) File "c:\programdata\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\seabird\cli.py", line 31, in dump data = fCNV(inputfilename) File "c:\programdata\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\seabird\cnv.py", line 574, in __init__ super(fCNV, self).__init__(text, defaults) File "c:\programdata\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\seabird\cnv.py", line 58, in __init__ self.rule, self.parsed = load_rule(self.raw_text) File "c:\programdata\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\seabird\utils.py", line 77, in load_rule rule = json.loads(text.decode('utf-8'), encoding="utf-8") File "c:\programdata\miniconda3\lib\json\__init__.py", line 359, in loads return cls(**kw).decode(s) TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encoding'
