In Ubuntu 16.04. I am trying to install cntk (package downloaded from githup- cntk for Linux version and for CPU only).

I followed the procedure written in GitHub. Step 1:

I got the following error

Answer 1

This is might be due to proxy issues during the anaconda update after install. See: http://conda.continuum.narkive.com/crmi1F8C/could-not-connect-to-http-repo-continuum-io-pkgs-pro-linux-64
