I've been trying to install Poppler to use pdf2image to do some pdf to jpeg conversions using Anaconda Prompt.
I tried running this: conda install -c conda-forge poppler
However, it gets stuck on "Solving Environment" and nothing really happens.
I tried another way but it gave the following error:
(base) C:\Users\taman>conda install -c conda-forge/label/cf201901 poppler
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed
PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from
current channels:

To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're
looking for, navigate to

and use the search bar at the top of the page.
After trying several methods, ultimately what worked is given on this link: https://github.com/QISKit/qiskit-terra/issues/586
I had to manually download the library, unlock the zip folder using a 7-zip software and add the bin address to the environment variable path.
