How to install pip packages in Anaconda?

I am trying to install pip packages inside Anaconda without success.
This is what I have tried
1) installation of pip in Anaconda in the base environment
(base) root#eris:/# conda install pip
2) installation of a package, e.g. nano, using pip
(base) root#eris:/# pip install nano
Unfortunately, when I call nano an error message says that nano command was not found.
When I run "conda list", in one output line I get
nano 0.10.0 pypi_0 pypi
This is what I get when I run "which -a pip"
/root/anaconda3/bin/pip
and this is what I get when I run "which -a python"
/root/anaconda3/bin/python

conda activate environt_name followed by pip install package_name should work and install the package in that specific environment (but only do it for packages that are not in a conda repository and use conda install otherwise).
Unfortunately, when I call nano an error message says that nano command was not found.
Beware that pip install nano will install the nano library from Pypi. From the output of conda list it seems that the library was installed. I have never used this library, but from its description in Pypi it is related to django and it does not seem to come with an executable. Don't confuse it with the nano text editor that comes with most linux distributions (the nano text editor needs to be installed using your distro package manager).

How to install pmdarima in anaconda prompt. Tried conda install pmdarima not worked

conda install pmdarima
PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

pip install pmdarima
Issue resolved.

Following worked for me to install the package with anaconda:
conda install -c saravji pmdarima

if pip install pmdarima fails to you,
try as a user:
pip install pmdarima --user

Option 1
conda install -n [NameOfVEnv] -c saravji pmdarima
Where -c stands for "channel" which is
the locations where Navigator and conda look for packages. (Source)
and -n for "Name of environment".
I just tried here (on CentOS 7) and it worked fine.
Option 2
An alternative, if one is using Windows 10, is to access Anaconda Prompt for the environment that you are working with as admin:
And run
conda install -c saravji pmdarima
I just tried here (on Windows 10 64-bit) and it worked fine.
Option 3
As it is suggested on pmdarima's repo on GitHub
pip install pmdarima
You may need to install dependencies (in all the options), but it asks you in the prompt window. If it appears, you will need to enter Y.

I got the same error when I tried installing with "conda install pmdarima".
Simply using "python -m pip install pmdarima --user" worked for me on anaconda prompt

How to install python iexfinance package on Anaconda?

What is the exact command for installation of the python iexfinance package when using the Anaconda command prompt? Using the pip commands mentioned under "install" here does not work. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/iexfinance

It seems this package is not available through anaconda distribution.
Usually, besides the conda install <package> command, you have the alternative:
conda install -c conda-forge <package>
In your case, you can create a conda environment:
conda create --name <yourenv> python=3.5
then source activate <yourenv>,
and inside this environment you install your package, like so:
pip3 install iexfinance
then proceed to install other packages with conda install <package> as you see fit.

I cannot run conda command /activate environment on ubuntu?

I have installed anaconda in ubuntu and am facing a problem with anaconda. I was running the following command in a conda environment:
271 pip install --user -r requirements.txt
272 cd ..
273 conda install ipython jupyter
274 conda install jupyter
275 python
276 sudo apt-get install python-vtk python-wxgtk2.6 python-setuptools python-numpy python-configobj
277 sudo apt-get install python-vtk python-wxgtk2.8 python-setuptools python-numpy python-configobj
278 conda install -c anaconda mayavi==4.5.0
It suddenly stopped working. Once I want to activate an environment or run any command with conda, I am receiving the following error:
ERROR: The install method you used for conda--probably either `pip install conda`
or `easy_install conda`--is not compatible with using conda as an application.
If your intention is to install conda as a standalone application, currently
supported install methods include the Anaconda installer and the miniconda
installer. You can download the miniconda installer from
https://conda.io/miniconda.html.
I have even added export PATH=/home/user/anaconda2/bin:$PATH to .bashrc. Could someone please help?

pip install conda can corrupt the conda setup. Download miniconda setup from the path in the error and run below
bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -f
To test your installation, enter the command conda --version. If installed correctly, you will see the version of conda installed.

Installing QSTK in anaconda windows

i cannot get anaconda to install qstk. here is what i typed in cmd prompt.
conda install QSTK
But i guess that does not work because the continuum repos dont include QSTK. the error i get is No packages found matching qstk.
i checked the repos by typing the following in cmd prompt:
conda info
That told be the repo was continuum repo. so i checked http://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/free/win-32/index.html and found that QSTK is not there.
How do i install qstk in anaconda? I downloaded the qstk tar.gz file but i dont know how to install with it.

Did you try install it with pip install qstk?
If you have only one python version installed at your computer it should work.

Using easy_install -U QSTK in anaconda cmd prompt worked for me

In conda virtual environment I used following commands to install the package successfully:
1- pip install qstk
2- conda install matplotlib
