cant install packages using pip install

Question

Anyone could tell me what this error might mean, please? I cannot install any packages using pip. Conda does not help either.

For conda this is the error that I am getting.

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - pynrrd

Answer 1

To install this package with conda run: conda install -c kayarre pynrrd

you will see this on the conda website too. https://anaconda.org/kayarre/pynrrd

Please let me know if this works.
