Can I get Anaconda navigator to see packages on pypi?

Question

I want to install a package which is available on pypi, but I want to do so using Anaconda Navigator. Is this possible? I can see there's a way to add "channels" to Navigator in .condarc, but I have no idea what to add to make it see pypi, or if that's even possible.

I don't want to install the package using pip or even using the conda CLI, I want to use Navigator.

Answer 1

Adding pypi as a channel/repo for Conda is not possible.
Therefore, it is also not possible in Anaconda Navigator.

The only way is using pip inside an existing conda environment via the Conda CLI.

Sorry.
