Miniconda3: No Packages Found In Current Win-32 Channels Matching Issue

I've been following a guide in how to install Miniconda3 and use that to install different packages as NumPy and SciPy. However, after installing Miniconda3 and opened a new proje

Solution 1:

It looks like conda is not able to reach the package repository, so you likely have connection issues (your firewall might be blocking conda, or maybe you are behind a proxy).

Here are 3 workaround (if you cannot fix your network problem):

1. Install Anaconda instead of Miniconda

You could install Anaconda from continuum website. Unlike Miniconda, it comes with a lot of pre-installed packages such as numpy and scipy.

2. Install numpy from a pre-built conda archive

You can manually download the archives package from the conda repository, and install them using:

conda install numpy.tar.bz2

You need to download the archive for your operating system. Depending on the package you chose, you may have issue with dependencies...

3. Download pre-built wheel files

This site provides tons of pre-built package for Windows, which are relatively easy to install:

python -m pip install numpy.whl

You should use the python executable that comes with conda (should not be an issue if you do not have multiple python installations on your system).

_{I am not the author nor the maintainer of this site, I just find it very useful when you want to install python packages on Windows and cannot use pip/conda.}
