KeyError: "Unable to open object (object 'predictions' doesn't exist)"

Hi,

I am trying to run pepper locally (ie not with sudo as I don't have those permissions) and used the pepper polish command successfully a few weeks ago, however now I get to the stitch command and get these errors:

I have tried running the three commands individually but also get stuck at the stitch command. How do I get past this? I saw someone had this issue but couldn't see how to resolve it with your answer as it used sudo... apologies I'm very new to this. I had some problems with dependency clashes and wondered if this might be an issue, but am mostly lost.

Thanks for your help!
