Conda: how should I know from which channel I got a package - python

I've installed Anaconda 4.2.9 on my linux machine, and I work with a couple developpers on it, we work on offline mode so we need to download each package from Conda depository and then install it manually.
We face now some compatibility problems between some packages. so I would know from which channel a given package is installed. when I run conda list I can see only the local channel I've created:
sas7bdat 2.0.6 py35_0 file:///opt/Anaconda/Anaconda3-4.2.0/channel
scikit-image 0.12.3 np111py35_1
scikit-learn 0.17.1 np111py35_2
scipy 0.18.1 np111py35_0

to know which channel is used in your case, you have just to take the entire name of your package you have in conda list --explicit (as #pilu mentioned in his answer) and google it with "".
for example:
file:///opt/Anaconda/Anaconda3-4.2.0/channel/linux-64/sas7bdat-2.0.6-py35_0.tar.bz2
you have to google: "sas7bdat-2.0.6-py35_0.tar.bz2"
you will get the UPLOADER of package (Anaconda for this example).

Try the explicit flag:
conda list --explicit

If nothing is listed, then it is part of the default installation. The default installation packages are associated with the anaconda channel.

Conda install geopandas doing nothing

I'm using conda with Spyder/Python 3.8.8.
I'm trying to install the geopandas package through conda-install, but when running it, I receive no output.
I've input the command conda install -c conda-forge geopandas and let it run for 30 minutes so far, so I doubt it's just a large package or poor connection. I don't know if I'm supposed to be seeing progress updates, but if I am, I'm not.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
If you are using the base Anaconda environment, then there are packages that are conflicting with geopandas. I suggest you to create new environment for geopandas:
open anaconda command line and run this command to create new environment:
conda create --name gis python==3.8
You can use any version of python you like of course. Then you need to activate it:
conda activate gis
Now you can install geopandas and jupyter lab if you need it (Personally recommend VSCode):
conda install -y -c conda-forge geopandas jupyterlab
enter code here
Use below command to install,
conda install geopandas
or
pip install geopandas
When using pip to install GeoPandas, you need to make sure that all dependencies are installed correctly.
fiona provides binary wheels with the dependencies included for Mac and Linux, but not for Windows.
pyproj, rtree, and shapely provide binary wheels with dependencies included for Mac, Linux, and Windows.
Windows wheels for shapely, fiona, pyproj and rtree can be found at Christopher Gohlke’s website.
Depending on your platform, you might need to compile and install their C dependencies manually. We refer to the individual packages for more details on installing those. Using conda (see above) avoids the need to compile the dependencies yourself.
This solution might not be exactly relevant, but since there is no marked solution, it might help...
I recently ran into a problem installing geopandas as well. Though I did mine through my terminal and I did receive an error message: OSError: could not find or load spatialindex_c-64.dll.
I used: conda install -c conda-forge rtree=0.9.3.

Installing a package from git in Anaconda environment which is afterwards not recognized in Python

I'm trying to install a python package directly from github. In my case that's SciANN. When I selected my environment in conda using conda activate myenv and afterwards install this package as explained in this post using the following lines of code:
conda install git pip
pip install git+git://github.com/sciann/sciann.git
it is successfully installed and I get the message "Successfully built SciANN" in the end of the insatllation procedure. When I then open spyder and type import sciann I get the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sciann'. I also tried to use pip3 instead of pip but this did not change something.
Have I missed something? Is this package now installed correctly into my environment myenv?
The deleted answer from Jay Prakash together with the comments brought me on track. Yes there can be different versions of packages installed. So in my case SciANN was installed using pip as they currently do not offer a conda installation while all my other packages where installed with conda. I ended up having two different versions of tensorflow installed, one from pip and one from conda so I deleted one. Additionally I used Python version 3.7 while this package supports only up to 3.6. And I had to use a non official tensorflow version because my CPU does not support AVX which is a whole new topic.

Can I conda install an alpha or beta version of Python?

At time of writing, alpha version 3.8.0a4 of python is available. I would like to do some testing in a conda env before it is GA (for both educational purposes and to satisfy some curiosities).
When trying to conda install 3.8 I am getting a PackagesNotFoundError error. Are alpha/beta versions of python simply unavailable through conda channels or is there perhaps an alternate conda channel where this might be found?
I know the latest version can be found on python.org in downloads/release but was really hoping for availability in a conda channel, if possible.
3.8.0a3 can be downloaded using conda-forge, which is a custom channel for conda. You can see the package listed here, with version 3.8.0a3 being labelled as pre-3.8. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like 3.8.0a4 is available yet.
conda install -c conda-forge/label/pre-3.8 python
There is an open issue on conda-forge for adding 3.8.0a4.

OpenCV - Can't import cv2 [duplicate]

How to install opencv with python 3.6 and anaconda 3.6?
I tried conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/menpo opencv3
but i get the following error:
UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
- opencv3 -> python 2.7*
- python 3.6*
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.
I am using Windows 10 64-bit, with python 3.6, and anaconda 3.6 installed.
Is it even available for python3.6 at the moment or should i rollback my python version to 3.5.*?
search anaconda prompt
open and run the command.
> pip install opencv-python
this single command help's you to install opencv easily.
you can take help from the video link below.
video link
From menpo file page, it shows that the OpenCV 3.2 binary there are only for Python 2.7/3.4/3.5 and on linux-64 platform
You may go to the this site to get the exact version you need.
opencv_python‑3.2.0‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl is the basic one.
opencv_python‑3.2.0+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl is the one
with opencv-contrib modules such as the text module for binding to tesseract OCR engine and many others.
Both binary are for OpenCV 3.2 with Python 3.6 binding for Windows 64-bit. To install it, 1) download the binary to local drive, 2) open your Anaconda command prompt and 3) type the command below in the directory the binary locates.
pip install opencv_python‑3.2.0+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
Hope this help.
Update on 2018-02-22:
OpenCV 3.4.0 wheel files are now available in the unofficial site and replaced OpenCV 3.3.0
Update on 2019-01-30:
OpenCV 4.0.1 wheel files are now available in the unofficial site with CPython 3.5/3.6/3.7 support.
I managed to get it working by doing the following:
Download and install python3.6 from official python site
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-360/
Download and install Anaconda 4.4.0 from the official anaconda site
https://www.continuum.io/downloads
Open command line and run:
pip install opencv-python
Open command line and run:
pip install opencv-contrib-python
I am using Windows 10 and it worked for me.
It's pretty simple..
Install Anaconda 3.6. Check anaconda is added to System Variable Path.
Open CMD and type conda install -c conda-forge opencv.
This will install latest OpenCV version available (3.6).
Open IDE editor and try import cv2.
It will probably don't work...don't worry.
You have to add cv2 command to editor.
For Eclipse (with PyDev):
Create firs a project and then do the following:
For PyCharm:
cv2 module probably won't work. Go to the Anaconda folder/Lib/site-packages/cv2 and copy the file cv2.cp36-win_amd64.pyd to the site-packages folder. Rename it cv2.pyd
Now try to write a command... cv2.imread(). If auto-completition don't work, try cv2.cv2.imread().
This will work for sure.
I am using Python 3.6.2 and Anaconda 4.3.23 (It should also work with your case).
I did the following:
Download the Numpy version corresponding to your Python installation from here. In my case, I’ve used numpy-1.13.1+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Download the OpenCV version corresponding to your Python installation from here. In my case, I’ve used opencv_python-3.3.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Now go to the folder where you downloaded these files and run the following:
pip install numpy-1.13.1+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install opencv_python-3.3.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Note the Successfully installed … message after each command.
At this point, you should be able to play with OpenCV and Python. Let’s try a small test first. Start the Python interpreter or Jupyter Notebook and write:
import cv2
print(cv2.__version__)
If everything was correctly installed, you should see the version number of your OpenCV install, in my case this was 3.3.0.
I see you found a solution but this may be helpful for others. The package is not available for Python 3.6. You can check this by going to that package channel on anaconda.org and selecting the files tab. You will see the package tarballs with the Python version listed as py27, py34, py35,etc. This is a good way to check for Python versions of a specific package.
You can also run the following to see the package versions and Python versions available for your OS from the Anaconda channel:
conda search <package_name>
Or to search a particular channel and package you can do this:
conda search -c <channel_name> <package_name>
As of March 2018, OpenCV 3.4 can be installed directly from conda-forge or anaconda in Windows/OSX/Linux for Python 3.6
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
or
conda install -c anaconda opencv
Using:
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
worked for me
If you have installed anaconda then you should uninstall it, then try
pip install opencv_python‑3.2.0+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
It worked for me.
Thank You.
I am using python 3.6 and the following worked for me:
Download and install opencv (Win pack) on your computer from the official website:
https://opencv.org/releases.html (I took version 3.4.2)
Go to the website of Christoph Gohlke and download the wheel file corresponding to your system. (I took opencv_python-3.4.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl)
As mentioned on the website of Christoph Gohlke, make sure you installed 'numpy1.14' & 'mkl' package. Also make sure you use pip with version 9 or newer.
Start the 'Anaconda Prompt'
Change the directory in the 'Anaconda Prompt' to the folder where you downloaded the wheel file from Gohlke's website (via the MS-DOS command 'cd').
In the 'Anaconda Prompt' type 'pip install opencv_python-3.4.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl') (change the name of the wheel file accordingly).
When starting spyder, test your installation as follows:
import cv2
print(cv2.__version__)
If the version is printed in the console (in my case 3.4.2), your installation was successful.
IMPORTANT REMARK:
If you created a dedicated environment within Anaconda (in my case 'py36'), make sure you installed spyder for this dedicated environment ('conda install spyder'). If not, your installation of opencv will not be recognised within the environment you are working in. Maybe this is obvious and straightforward but in my case I struggled to find this solution.
First Download Anaconda Python 3.6 from official site. After installing anaconda, simply open command prompt and type following statement and press enter of course -
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
It may take some time. After the completion, check your conda packages by typing conda list - opencv should be there.
However, Before proceed to install opencv, you can check whether opencv for python 3.6 is available or not. We can check it by typing conda info opencv in command prompt and press enter of course, you'll see following -
opencv 3.3.1 py36h20b85fd_1
---------------------------
file name : opencv-3.3.1-py36h20b85fd_1.tar.bz2

dependencies:
jpeg >=9b,<10a
libpng >=1.6.32,<1.7.0a0
libtiff >=4.0.9,<5.0a0
numpy >=1.11.3,<2.0a0
python >=3.6,<3.7.0a0
vc 14.*
zlib >=1.2.11,<1.3.0a0
By this we can also get ensure that opencv 3.3.1 py36h20b85fd_1 is available. And this is available for python 3.6
I think this way is straight forward. Just install anaconda from official page and follow the image.
Using Anaconda3's package manager directly will be more reliable and cross-platform:
conda install opencv

Problems installing TensorFlow on Mac

I am trying to follow to the installation guide on tensorflow.org and have installed Python version 2 again for that reason using Homebrew.
When I run the installation as described
$ pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl
I get this error message:
tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
I am obviously doing something wrong, but have no idea. Any clues?
I do not want to use virtualenv, since anaconda already comes with its own environment management conda. When installing the newest version 0.6.0 directly with pip install, I had a similar error. It seemed to not resolve the dependencies correctly.
Here is what you can try:
Install anaconda
Create a new conda workspace
Download the specific protobuf version that tensorflow needs: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/protobuf/3.0.0a3
Install it via sudo easy_install ~/Downloads/protobuf-3.0.0a3-py2.7.egg
Install a numpy version greater than 1.08.x via conda install numpy
Download the 0.6.0 version of tensorflow: https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.6.0-py2-none-any.whl
Install via pip install ~/Downloads/tensorflow-0.6.0-py2-none-any.whl
When you install tensorflow from the whl file directly, it should tell you when dependencies are not there. It seems not to be able to resolve these conflicts independently. My setup had issues with protobuf and numpy. After installing them manually everything worked fine.
I hope this helps!
It seems to be a common issue. Try to install it in the virtualenv. Its a much better solution, as you can always easily set up a new version of tensorflow without conflicts.
VirutalEnv Tutorial:
http://tensorflow.org/get_started/os_setup.md#virtualenv-based_installation
On the Mac, I didn't have any problem installing tensorflow with the anaconda version of python: https://www.continuum.io/downloads
The anaconda version also provides science, math, engineering, and data analysis packages. A lot of people on https://www.kaggle.com/ seem to use this...just a thought.
