I need sklearn that's why I tried installing scikit-learn in my conda env using conda install scikit-learn but it results in:
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: \

failed
UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found
to be incompatible with the existing python installation in your environment:
Specifications:
- scikit-learn -> python[version='>=2.7,<2.8.0a0|>=3.6,<3.7.0a0|>=3.7,<3.8.0a0|>=3.8,<3.9.0a0|>=3.5,<3.6.0a0']
Your python: python=3.9
If python is on the left-most side of the chain, that's the version you've asked for.
When python appears to the right, that indicates that the thing on the left is somehow
not available for the python version you are constrained to. Note that conda will not
change your python version to a different minor version unless you explicitly specify
that.
The following specifications were found to be incompatible with your system:
- feature:/linux-64::__cuda==9.1=0
- feature:|@/linux-64::__cuda==9.1=0
Your installed version is: 9.1
The same appears if I try conda install -c anaconda scikit-learn or conda install -c conda-forge scikit-learn. How to resolve this?
Ok, so the problem was that my env was running Python 3.9.0 but scikit-learn isn't compatible with 3.9 so I created a new env while specifically mentioning the Python version by
conda create -n newEnv python=3.7.3. I decided to go with
python 3.7.3 as it was already present on my base environment so I just went with it.
