NoPackagesFoundError: Package missing in current Win64 channels: - freetype 2.5.5 1

[Ved-Piyush]

I am trying to install this Python Environment using the yml file. However I run into the following error :

NoPackagesFoundError: Package missing in current Win64 channels: 
                  - freetype 2.5.5 1

I am using the following code to install the environment using Anaconda 2 (after putting the .yml file in the current directory for Python.)

conda env create -f basic_project_stats.yml

I was not sure what the last line in the yml file which is 'prefix' is doing, but I changed as following to the directory where the python environments reside in my computer .

 prefix: /Users/Public/Anaconda2/envs/python279_volcrowe

I also tried installing a win 64 channel as suggested in a stackoverflow post using the following code( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38739694/install-python-package-package-missing-in-current-win-64-channels?rq=1

conda config --add channels bioninja

I am able to add the bioninja thing but after it when I run the following command: conda env create -f environment.yml

It gives me the same Win64 channel error as earlier.

Can anyone please help me solve this issue ?

I think I probably should have cleaned up the file before committing it, as the environment I used had a ton of packages that I use for other things but that I haven't (yet) used here. Try deleting the lines that have a problem as a first step. The repo definitely uses pandas and numpy and dateutil, but most other things can probably go (or will automatically be added if needed because of dependencies).

I've simplified the yml file to include only the necessary packages - if that doesn't fix it please reopen and let me know. Thanks :)
