Anaconda Pymc Install

Question

When attempting to install pymc via conda, I receive the following:

C:\Anaconda>conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/pymc pymc Fetching package metadata: ... Error: No packages found matching: pymc

The install is from the pymc distribution page: https://binstar.org/pymc/pymc

My current version of anaconda is up to date:

C:\Anaconda>conda update --prefix C:\Anaconda anaconda Fetching package metadata: .. Solving package specifications: .# All requested packages already installed.

# packages in environment at C:\Anaconda:

#

anaconda 1.9.2 np18py27_0

So as a conda newbie, I'm not quite sure what I'm missing. Perhaps I have to authorize binstar first? (No proxy issues I believe.)

Much appreciate your suggestions!

Answer 1

That build of pymc is only built for OS X 64-bit, Windows 32-bit, and Linux 64-bit (see https://binstar.org/pymc/pymc/2.3.2/files). I'm guessing you have Windows 64-bit. You should contact the pymc devs to see if they can build a 32-bit Windows version.

Answer 2

Try using:

!conda install pymc --yes

It should work. The --yes here used to skip a pause.
