I’ve created many new environments from the Anaconda Prompt in Windows with no issue in the past. I can still create new environments with no issue using:
conda create --name <env_name>
In the past, I would then activate the new environment, install any packages I need using conda install, and continue.
But now, using conda install results in an error saying it can’t connect to the repository because openSSL is not available (which makes sense if openSSL isn’t available, since it needs to use https).
I can get around the issue by creating the environment with openSSL installed:
conda --name <env_name> openssl
and then I can conda install away! (after activating the new environment).
Did something change that made it necessary to explicitly include openSSL in the new environment?
(sorry, I created a duplicate in the general Anaconda topic with too general a title, so added it here with a better title)
