I downloaded and installed the newest Ananconda distribution normally, and gave it these commands in the prompt:
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict
Now, nothing works right when I try to update or install packes. I get this error over and over again.
conda update --all
Solving environment: unsuccessful attempt using repodata from current_repodata.json, retrying with next repodata source.
I've even reinstalled anaconda, deleted all old folders, etc. The command line gets to the third "Solving environment:" sequence, and it just spins. I have to manually stop it with Ctrl-C. What is going on here? Any help would be appreciated.
