Unable to continue Conda Workflow tutorial due to an error when attempting to install packages as shown. I’ve also CondaSSLError: OpenSSL appears to be unavailable on this machine.

Hello Amy_DMV.

A solution is given on the following site that has worked for several people reporting the same issue:

|> This is due to .dll error

go to location where you’ve install anaconda anaconda3>Library>bin. search and copy following dll files

libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll libssl-1_1-x64.dll

and paste to anaconda3>DLLs.

then restart your pc.

issue will get resolved.

Great! Works for me|

Have you tried this solution?
