Unable to install cartopy

[Jayayadav33]

I am using Ananconda on Windows 10. Python version: 3.11.7, I am unable to install it on my system. I have tried all the install as per the anaconda cartopy page: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/cartopy . I get the following error message:

(PhD_Objective2) C:\Users\Admin>conda install cartopy

Do you have conda-forge as your first channel?

[Jayayadav33]

I do not know if this is the first channel. I am kind of new to programming. But I had also tried this:
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict
conda install cartopy
URL for this: https://github.com/conda-forge/cartopy-feedstock
But got the same result.

I would create a new environment and see if that works:

conda create -n myenv python=3.11
conda activate myenv
conda install cartopy

Creating a fresh environment should solve this as suggested above. I would also check what version of conda you have as installed, as recent versions use libmamba under the hood and are less prone to this problem.

Yes. This is working in fresh environment. But not working in an existing environment. I am using anaconda navigator 2.5.0
