Update process full of bugs - need help
Carl Huxohl
I installed standalone version of Anaconda and spyder complete on my system from a download at Anaconda. Upon installing and then running spyder for the first time I got the following:
1) A message that I need to update spyder to current version (which in my case was 5.4.3 I believe). Message said 'conda update conda' and then run a second command (which is now lost to the mists of time because I do not have a screen grab for that).
2) This failed immediately with a PkgNotInstalledError.
3) Went to 'stack overflow' and discovered that the workaround was to run 'conda update --name base conda' because the environment was not right.
4) This seemed to work. I restarted the Anaconda navigator and spyder.
4) However, I now have an error I have apparently no way to work around...the message is:
You have missing dependencies
#Mandatory:
paramiko >=2.4.0 : None (NOK)
Please install them to avoid this message.
This is completely meaningless to me and leaves me in a place where I do not know if I can proceed.
I had this same trouble during the previous update and decided to completel remove and reinstall anaconda. I need help to keep using Anaconda and Spyder.
BTW...one of the messages, if I remember that first popup...was to updgrade conda and then spyder...did my last command negate the need for this?
