conda install downgrade python version

Question

I'm trying to downgrade python version of anaconda via conda install python=3.3, but have following error:

~/anaconda3/bin$ ./conda install python=3.3 Fetching package metadata ......... Solving package specifications: .   UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:   - gevent -> python 2.6*   - python 3.3* Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package. 

How to resolve conflicts with the packages?

Answer 1

If you want to set specific version, use it like this:

WARNING: This command will overwrite the default python version system-wise

conda install python=3.6 

To create environment with a specific version, you can do:

conda create -n $PYTHON36_ENV_NAME python=3.6 anaconda  # set custom env name 

The anaconda at the end allows the env to use all anaconda packages
