How to install pytorch torchvision via Conda.jl?

[truedichotomy]

According to pytorch, the command to install torch vision via conda is: conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch

What is the equivalent Conda.add command for that? While it is happy with Conda.add("pytorch"), it is not happy with Conda.add("torchvision"). I tried different combination of words in pytorch torchvision -c pytorch in Conda.add without success.

Here is the error message:

julia> Conda.add("torchvision")

Conda.add_channel("pytorch")
Conda.add("torchvision")

can we have a conda shell inside julia? it will make it easy to perform conda commands like what you do in the bash/zsh shell calling conda directly.
