Hello @JIE-YUAN Seems like your config_remote.yml has something wrong. Can you post your config_remote.yml？

got same error on google colab.
other nni examples work.
only mnist-annotation example shows ERROR: 'USER'

got same error on local docker,
coz annotation mode would get environment 'USER', so it raise error.
to fix this is easy,
export USER=root
