Can't install operators outside of `openshift-marketplace`

Attempting to install an Operator into a single namespace foobar results in the error:

Operator Group does not support single namespace installation mode.

Attempting to install an Operator into all namespaces into the openshift-operators namespace results in the error:

The namespace 'openshift-operators' does not support install modes for this operator

Configuring Operator Groups doesn't change anything.

In any case, operators can't be installed outside of openshift-marketplace

This issue (and many others) is caused by having multiple instances of the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) installed. OpenShift has an instance of OLM already installed, called openshift-operator-lifecycle-manager

This is an easy mistake to for beginners to Operators, because the operator-sdk olm command, which is recommended by the Operator SDK tutorials, can't seem to detect other forks of OLM.

Deleting the extra OLM will solve the problem.
