PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

Solution 1:

Try adding the conda-forge channel to your list of channels with this command:
conda config --append channels conda-forge. It tells conda to also look on the conda-forge channel when you search for packages. You can then simply install the two packages with conda install slycot control.

Channels are basically servers for people to host packages on and the community-driven conda-forge is usually a good place to start when packages are not available via the standard channels. I checked and both slycot and control seem to be available there.

Solution 2:

Have you tried:

pip install <package>

conda install -c conda-forge <package>

Solution 3:

Thanks, Max S. conda-forge worked for me as well.

scikit-learn on Anaconda-Jupyter Notebook.

Upgrading my scikit-learn from 0.19.1 to 0.19.2 in anaconda installed on Ubuntu on Google VM instance:

Run the following commands in the terminal:

First, check available the packages with versions

conda list

It will show packages and their installed versions in the output:

scikit-learn              0.19.1           py36hedc7406_0

Upgrade to 0.19.2 July 2018 release.

conda config --append channels conda-forge
conda install scikit-learn=0.19.2

Now check the version installed correctly or not?

conda list

Output is:

scikit-learn              0.19.2          py36_blas_openblasha84fab4_201  [blas_openblas]  conda-forge

Note: Don't use pip command if you are using Anaconda or Miniconda

I tried following commands:

!conda update conda 
!pip install -U scikit-learn

It will install the required packages also will show in the conda list but when try to import that package it will not work.

On the website http://scikit-learn.org/stable/install.html it is mentioned as: Warning To upgrade or uninstall scikit-learn installed with Anaconda or conda you should not use the pip.

Solution 4:

It may be that your condas channels need a wakeup call... with

conda update --all

For me it worked. More information: https://www.anaconda.com/keeping-anaconda-date/
