Error trying to run bibliopixel

So, let me preface this by saying that I am not a python expert, or even a competent amateur.

I recently received an All pixel mini, with the hopes of simplifying a previous hardware setup involving a pi zero, a breadboard, some wonky USB bits, and an ATX power supply.

I got the allpixel, plugged it into my USB port (windows laptop) pip3 install bibliopixel and all seems well.
However, running "bibliopixel demo" throws the following error:

Available demos are: bloom, circle, cube, matrix
Randomly selected circle
ERROR: make_project() missing 1 required positional argument: 'root_file'

I fussed with this last night for a couple hours. Bibliopixel can see the allpixel fine, as running the all_pixel command leads me to selecting the LED type and count.

I reimaged a raspberry pi 3 I had lying around, updated pyserial, sudo pip3 install bibliopixel, and I get the same error when running demo. Same situation as well, I can see the allpixel, but get the same error running demo.

Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly? I'm guessing it is some python related issue that is eluding me due to my own python shortcomings, but I figured I would run it past the experts to save me from yanking hair from my scalp.
