Conda Install Fails

conda install -c pyviz geoviews currently fails to Solve Environment inside a clean anaconda container launched with sudo docker run -it continuumio/anaconda3.

I’ve tried the pyviz channel, the default channel, and the conda-forge channel with the same results.

Conda suggests that the problem has to do with conflicts and that it is looking for incompatibilities, but it has been running since yesterday and only reports 90% progress. I’ll update this post if it completes.

Yeah, a new conda version came out last month. I also didn’t have success with conda install -c pyviz geoviews but I did have success with:

I have seen issues with geo-dependencies, most typically when mixing defaults and conda-forge channels in an environment. It might be worth trying to create a fresh environment based primarily on the conda-forge channel, with something like: conda create -n geo -c conda-forge geoviews Also, maintaining consistency with channel priority for new packages added to an environment helps reduce the painful issues you might otherwise encounter, so unless conda-forge is specifically added as a higher priority channel than defaults in the conda config, it is best to specify using the conda-forge channel for any new dependencies added.
