True, this is exactly the reason. That said, you can always manually add it. You can see the default values : https://github.com/allegroai/trains-agent/blob/master/docs/trains.conf

Thanks Martin...Interesting.. I see the entire agent section missing from the conf file. I guess this happened because I first ran "trains init" and made some manual edits. Then I installed trains-agent on the same machine. "trains-agent init" did not update the already existing file

Hi FriendlyKoala70 you can edit the installed package section and add the missing package. See more details on how trains-agent works here (although it's on conda the same rules apply for pip) https://github.com/allegroai/trains-agent/issues/8
