Install Python package: "Package missing in current win-64 channels"

Question

I want to install GSEApy on Anaconda (I use 64bit Windows 10).
https://bioconda.github.io/recipes/gseapy/README.html
https://anaconda.org/bioconda/gseapy

But I get this error:

C:\Windows\system32>conda install gseapy

Using Anaconda Cloud api site https:// api.anaconda.org
Fetching package metadata ...........
Solving package specifications: .
Error: Package missing in current win-64 channels:
  - gseapy

You can search for packages on anaconda.org with
anaconda search -t conda gseapy

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

You need to use a channel that has a win-64 version. Use:

conda install -c bioninja gseapy

The option -c or --channel allows to specify a channel. You can also add a channel permanently via:

conda config --add channels bioninja

This creates a file .condarc in your home directory (on Windows C:\Users\<username>):

channels:
  - bioninja
  - defaults

You can modify this file manually. The order of the channels determines their precedence.

Note: Files with a leading . might not be displayed by certain file browsers. You might need to change settings to display these files accordingly.

You can find out if a package exits for your platform by searching on Anaconda. Just type gseapy in the search field and you should see the available packages. The column "Platforms" shows if a "win-64" version exists.

Answer 2

Now you could install lastest gseapy through bioconda, too

conda install -c bioconda gseapy 

Answer 3

Check the latest version of Keras from the Anaconda Cloud website

https://anaconda.org/search?q=keras

Use command:

conda install -c conda-forge keras=<version>
