How to solve "CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED" error in WSL?


I have enabled WSL in my Windows 10 and installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS from Microsoft store.

To use meep software, I am following the installation process on my Windows 10. Unfortunately, when I am running below command,

conda create -n mp -c conda-forge pymeep

I am getting an error like,

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): failed

CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/linux-64/current_repodata.json>
Elapsed: -

An HTTP error occurred when trying to retrieve this URL.
HTTP errors are often intermittent, and a simple retry will get you on your way.
'https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/linux-64'

I have tried to disable ssl with below command,

conda config --set ssl_verify no

But no luck. Now, How to resolve this issue?

here is the --verbose output of the command,

tasmia@TASMIA-PC:~/study/softwares$ conda create -n mp -c conda-forge pymeep -v

Solution

  • Maybe this discussion here helps: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/9948

    In summary three fixes are suggested there:

    1. Install an older version (4.7.12) of conda / miniconda see here
    2. Change file- & directory-permissions of your miniconda-installation (chmod -R 777 ~/.miniconda3) see here
    3. Restart wsl (wsl --shutdown) see here
