Can't create conda environment with python=3.8.13 #2

Open atribera opened 2 years ago

atribera commented 2 years ago

I am getting the following message when I use conda create -n dervet-venv python=3.8.13:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source.

My guess is that your conda version is too old and does not have python 3.8.13

To determine the conda version that you have, run this command: conda -V The latest conda version is 4.13.0

To update conda (in your base environment), run: conda update -n base -c defaults conda

After updating conda, the conda create -n dervet-venv python=3.8.13 command should work.

I previously had conda 4.10.0 and after running conda update -n base -c defaults conda, I got conda 4.10.1, which is giving me the same error as before while trying to create an environment using python 3.8.13. I have tried running conda install conda=4.13.0 to get the latest version of conda but I get the following error:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

Try to install python=3.8 in your base environment first. Then update conda, and create the new environment.

Helpful commands for further investigation: conda info conda config --show-sources

I figured I had issues with my conda config file. I have fixed the issue and everything works fine now. Thanks for your help.
