Installing fastai in anaconda

Question

I'm trying to install fastai in anaconda on my laptop, but it's always returning solving environment:failed... for every thing I tried.

I tried using all of these: conda install -c fastai fastai , conda install -c fastai -c pytorch fastai , conda install -c fastai -c pytorch -c anaconda fastai gh anaconda. In the case of the last one, it returned me that there was no 'gh' available to keep going with the installation. I don't know what else to try to solve this, can anyone help me please?

The issue is with conda and not fastai. Have you looked at this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51266535/conda-returns-solving-environment-failed — DaveIdito, Nov 05 '20 at 16:14

it's not working, i tried the approches there, but nothing working — vinicius catelani Catelani, Nov 05 '20 at 17:05
Have you tried upgrading all of your conda packages? It would help more if you had a larger stacktrace to show us — Halmon, Nov 14 '20 at 01:15

I was able to install fastai in Anaconda using the following command:

conda install -c fastai -c pytorch -c anaconda -c conda-forge fastai gh anaconda

The package gh is available in conda-forge, and added that as the last channel to look for packages. Here is a good SO post explaining the command.

A few notes about my setup:

Windows 10
Conda 4.8.3, Anaconda Navigator 1.9.12 (Installed last week)

The steps I went through:

I created a new environment in Navigator->Environments
Selected the new environment
Had to install Conda Powershell in the new env, (Navigator indicates this)
Opened a Conda Powershell from navigator
Then ran the command above

It took a while to complete and I was prompted with a question (see image) and entered 'y'
