Problem Installing via conda cloud channel
MagAtOQ opened this issue · comments
Dear all,
I've been using CMA-ES a couple of years ago and would like to get back to it.
I'm using Anaconda, with Navigator 2.2.0 and win10.
Trying to keep the consistency in package updates, I would like to install CMA using conda install.
After moving to my project environment in anaconda, I'm launching the CMD.exe Prompt (vers. 0.1.1) and use the command:
conda install --channel cma-es cma
The problem is rising after this. Here is the feedback from the terminal:

What disturb me a bit is the output:
The following packages are not available from current channels:
- cma_
it doesn't seem to take the "-es" into account. Is that a win10 problem?
How can I overcome that problem? Any idea?
In any case, thanks a lot!
With regards
Small update:
I've been adding the cma-es channel manually to anaconda.
It does appear in the "Channels" tab from "Environments"... But still no effect on the message returned by "conda install" command.
My understanding of the documentation suggests the following command for installation:
conda install --channel "cma-es" cma
I guess the quotation marks are important here.
I had a try... it doesn't seem to work.
I tried:
- your command
- conda install --channel "cma-es" package ( to install the channel... just a try)
- conda install --channel cma-es package
None of the 3 tests gave a positive output. Always the same feedback from the prompt... Strange...
Anyway... I cheated a bit, using the pip install. May generate problems in the future but from now, it will do the job.
If I have new info, I'll post them here.
Thanks again for your feedback!
