PackageNotFoundError: cudnn while passing the arguments in a text file

I am running the following command - 

conda install -y --file b.txt -p <env_path>

Contents of b.txt - 

cudnn=6.0.0

I get the following error - 

    Fetching package metadata .............

PackageNotFoundError: Packages missing in current channels:

  - cudnn 6.0.0

We have searched for the packages in the following channels:

  - https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/main/linux-64

cudnn is part of anaconda channel.

However, when I run this, things work fine and cudnn is installed - 

conda install -y cudnn=6.0.0 -p <env_path>

Any pointers on why passing it via file is not working?

Solution

  • changing cudnn-6.0.0 to cudnn-6.0-0 worked!
