Regarding COIN CBC solver installation in Switch

[GCP JU]

Hi!

First of all thanks for sharing the pre-tutorial instructions before the next meeting on Friday. I have successfully installed VS code as per the instructions. So far, I have also installed switch and pyomo,glpsol and git as well.

However, I am facing difficulties installing CBC. I have tried the command

conda install -c conda-forge coincbc

in a new terminal. In View>command palate I have used Python 3.10.6 ('switch') interpreter but it failed with the following notification.

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): failed

CondaSSLError: OpenSSL appears to be unavailable on this machine. OpenSSL is required to
download and install packages.

Exception: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='conda.anaconda.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /conda-forge/win-64/current_repodata.json (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available."))

Please guide me on what to do next to solve the issue. Looking for your cooperation.

Thanks and Regards
