Conda: Package missing in current win-64 channels

Question

I'm new to python and anaconda, so please excuse any ignorance.

I'm trying to install keras using conda. I'm on windows 10 (win-64). I see that there's a win-64 package of keras @ 1.0.8, but when I go to install it, conda install -c jaikumarm keras=1.0.8, I get the following error:

conda install -c jaikumarm keras=1.0.8
Fetching package metadata ...........
Solving package specifications: .


PackageNotFoundError: Package not found: '' Package missing in current win-64 channels:
  - keras 1.0.8*

You can search for packages on anaconda.org with

    anaconda search -t conda keras

When I search using the cli:

anaconda search -t conda keras
Using Anaconda API: https://api.anaconda.org
Run 'anaconda show <USER/PACKAGE>' to get more details:

I had the same issue, you need to get the latest package from anaconda website, then copy the display command and execute it in anaconda prompt window. I have posted the details in step by step on my personal site.
