I've been using Anaconda as my package manager but was unaware that it is recommended to install additional packages within virtual environments rather than globally. As a result, I've been installing all packages in my base environment by simply opening a terminal window and running commands such as:
pip3 install requests_html
conda install sklearn
This seemed to work fine for a while until I recently decided to try updating my packages. I tried running
conda update --all
which then provided a list of all the packages that will be updated. However, it also said that some packages will be downgraded instead, which after some googling seems to be due to version conflicts which is why environments are recommended.
Sample output:
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: done
