Conda package 在新创建的环境中发现冲突并且无法显示它们

Question

I tried to install menpodetect after creating a new env in Anaconda

conda create --name detector
conda activate detector
conda install -c menpo menpodetect

Anaconda cloud: https://anaconda.org/menpo/menpodetect

This is the output of conda install -c menpo menpodetect

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done

UnsatisfiableError:

python --version -> Python 3.7.4

conda list is empty (since the env has just been created)

What's wrong?

EDIT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

conda install -c conda-forge menpodetect returns

Answer 1

The menpodetect team has dropped support for windows and does not plan to reintroduce it . The only version still available for windows is the 3 year old 0.5 version, as you can see on the anaconda website .

With a package that old, it can happen that not all dependencies are still available from the default channels. You can however still install it, if you use the free channel , which contains packages prior to September 2017. It was removed from conda defaults with 4.7.

Use:

conda install -c free -c menpo menpodetect

Depending on your usecase however, it might be preferable to switch to Linux or OSX to be able to install the latest version using James suggestion

Answer 2

Try installing it from the conda-forge channel. The author started migrating to that channel about a year ago.

conda install -c conda-forge menpodetect
