Tutorial files down't download when following instruction on tutorial guide

This is probably not a bug in holoviz itself, but the instructions for installing the tutorial aren’t working.

I am trying to install the tutorial files. I normally use python 3.10 or 3.11 depending on package availability, but I wante to try the tutorial so I followed the instructions here: https://holoviz.org/tutorial/Setup.html These two commands worked fine:

conda create -n project "anaconda-project>=0.11"
conda activate project

Then I try to get the tutorial files: anaconda-project.exe download pyviz/holoviz_tutorial

and it fails (full error message below)

Is there a direct link to download the files?

ALL software version info

Windows11. Powershell python 3.6.15 (! - that’s what conda create - project downloaded and setup)

Description of expected behavior and the observed behavior

Expected tutorial files to be downloaded. That didn’t happen.

Complete, minimal, self-contained example code that reproduces the issue

(In powershell, I issue this command, per tutorial

anaconda-project.exe download pyviz/holoviz_tutorial

Ok thanks for that again, that confirms that you can reproduce the issue and that you indeed get Python 3.6 installed when you run the command to create the project environment.

Another thing I’d like to ask you is to run conda config --show-sources from your base environment. It should display your .condarc configuration which may indeed affect what gets installed. Once you’ve reported that, I’ll take all that information with me and ask internally (I’m working at Anaconda) how to debug that.

For what it’s worth, on my machine running on MacOS I cannot reproduce the issue, I get Python 3.10 installed and anaconda-project download pyviz/holoviz_tutorial runs without any issue.

(pythonConda3.10) PS C:\Users\junea> conda activate base
(base) PS C:\Users\junea> conda config --show-sources
==> C:\Users\junea\.condarc <==
default_python: None
channels:
  - conda-forge
  - defaults

(base) PS C:\Users\junea>

and same in the project environment (probably it is always the same? … but just in case):

(project2) PS C:\Users\junea> conda config --show-sources
==> C:\Users\junea\.condarc <==
default_python: None
channels:
  - conda-forge
  - defaults

(project2) PS C:\Users\junea>

FWIW - I also have a 2012 MacBookPro and I can’t get 3.10 to run at all. Oh well.

Is there any other way to download the tutorial files in the meantime?
