conda create env not working: binstar


Installed Miniconda on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit with the bash command. Tried creating conda environment afterwards, but it always shows this error. How to fix this error? Or is there any workaround?

$conda create -n testenv python
Fetching package metadata: ....
Error: No packages found in current linux-64 channels matching: default_conda_env

You can search for this package on Bconda instar with

    binstar search -t conda default_conda_env

You may need to install the Binstar command line client with

    conda install binstar

Solution

  • You probably have an invalid .condarc file. Take a look at your ~/.condarc. It looks like you have default_conda_env in your create_default_packages list.
