I have problems installing packages in the Anaconda Navigator. When I install a single package, for example, the requests package (which was marked as updateable), the window “Update Packages / The following packages will be modified:” pops up, but no packages are listed. The list is blank and nothing happens. This also happens, when I try to update another package. The window stays blank and the only thing I can do is cancel the update process (close the window).
I also tried to update the whole Anaconda installation via conda update anaconda. This also seems not to work: “Solving environment” shows up for more than an hour. Even if I reboot my computer (it’s a Dell Latitude Notebook and I have Windows 10 Enterprise installed). I have only base environment.
What could be the problem and what would be an appropriate solution?

I am trying to install Anaconda in my windows PC, installation is stuck at "Setting up package cache" step for almost 14 hours now. Not sure if there is some thing I can do, but this is lot of time for a package to install. I am using my office VPN network, how ever this should not make it run for ever.
enter image description here
In my case when the installation stuck at the same phase for the next attempt I've chosen the installation for user only (not for all users). It also took ages to install but it went through.

I couldn't install anaconda fully. It doesn't get complete even after half a day. What could be the problem here?
The installation was taking too much time, so i opened the task manager. It helped me sotring out what was eating up the disk(in my case) and it was chrome installer(in my case). So just check out on task manager.
In my case, I saw in the task manager under Conda processes, two CDM stuck tasks, I closed both of them and the installation continued with no issues.
I had to update my spyder to version 4.1.1 so I updated Spyder to that specific version.
After updating and rebooting the spyder in my anaconda navigator would not start
Then I opened anaconda promopt and typed the commander spyder --reset which resetted
Then it wouldnt restart without an enormous page long of error. I rebooted my computer again.
Now I can open Spyder 4.1.1. but my import matplotlib as plt command won't import the desired library.
I checked in my current enviroment whether the matplotlib was present (It was gone for some odd reason). so I tried installing that package using the navigator (Tab "Enviroments" and then looking for it with the fuzzy search )
When I hit install, I can see in the bottom of the navigator that it is "installing" but then I get an error message stating: Multiple Errors Encountered
When I press "Learn more" it directs me to another website
I am very lost at the moment, it shouldnt be that hard to update spyder to a newer version?
Would anybody be able to help me out?
A small update: I have fully removed my python/anaconda enviroment and reinstalled it from a blank state. This gave me the solution. An 4 hour-ish struggle has come to an end. I do am curious what steps I could have taken in this ordeal without not having to fully reinstall Anaconda.
I recently upgraded to MacOS Catalina to take advantage of various new features/improvements. Soon after installation, I noticed that a question grey mark appeared over the Anaconda icon in my applications. Additionally, my Anaconda files have seemingly been migrated to the "Relocated Items" folder now on my desktop.
I am not sure exactly how to deal with this. I have tried clicking the Anaconda icon with the question mark to launch it, but this fails. I have also attempted locating my Jupyter notebooks in the relocated items file but have not been able to do so successfully.
My question is what do I need to do to fix this problem to restore normal functionality back? Do I need to reinstall Anaconda? Will this new installation have my old Jupyter notebooks?
From a little reading online I have found that Apple says that no files should be deleted; therefore, in theory, there should be no loss of data from the upgrade. I am just not sure how I can restore access to these Jupyter notebooks.
Not sure if anyone else has experienced a similar problem. Any help or general guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Answer: As I just found out, Anaconda rolled out a new update to address this issue. I went to their website here and just downloaded a fresh installation of the latest version of Anaconda. This worked great and completely fixed the issue. I can now access all of my pervious Jupyter notebooks.
For all practical purposes, I cannot work with Kettle / Data Integration, although it is half of my new job. Does anyone have any insights?
Issue:
Kettle is very slow to launch, and immediately hangs and needs to be Force Quit when I right click on anything in the left side panel.
That is the main issue, as there are some things you can only do by right clicking on the object you want in the view panel. But I believe there is also a configuration issue. For example, when I try to create a new database connection after creating a new transformation (both from the File menu), I get this error:
“org.pentaho.ui.xul.XulException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException”
My config:
Mac OSX 10.12.6 (Sierra)
Kettle, also known as Pentaho Data Integration, version 7.1.0
What I already attempted:
Uninstall and reinstall Kettle in 2 ways:
o From the installer package on this website (which redirects to https://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/files/Data%20Integration/7.1/pdi-ce-7.1.0.0-12.zip/download)
Uninstall: move Data Integration folder to Trash, as well as all files and folders containing “Kettle", and then Empty Trash
o From Homebrew in the Terminal, using: brew install kettle
This way installs version 6
Uninstall: brew uninstall --force kettle
Close all apps in use, hard reboot my computer, kill memory intensive processes in Activity Monitor
Sudo purge
Notes:
Kettle takes over 1 GB of memory right away after being started.
Here is how I launch it, in Terminal, not by clicking on the .app item, because that doesn't work:
When installed from installer dmg package : /Applications/data-integration/Data\ Integration.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub
When installed from homebrew: spoon.sh
For all's information, I got an answer that did the trick here:
https://community.hds.com/message/37078-re-kettle-data-integration-is-very-slow-to-start-up-and-immediately-hangs-after-right-click-on-anything-in-the-left-view-panel?commentID=37078#comment-37078
you have to rise the ram , open the spoon.sh an modify proper section about memory
I want to install Cygwin on Windows 8.1 64bit but got no success using any variant.
I tried:
1) I downloaded fresh setup-x86_x64 from cygwin site and then tried to install from Internet but got empty mirror list.
2) The I tried manually add mirror from https://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst (this file accessible from my computer) but got "unable to get setup.ini" error.
3) then I tried to download WHOLE package manually from one of the mirrors (all mirrors normally accessible from my computer via FTP or HTTP) to setup from local package. When I downloaded all packages (about 30 Gigs) I ran setup with local package option. Package folder was scanned and I got list of categories. But there was no package in any category.
4) also I tried to run setup on my Windows 7 notebook. It got mirror list normally. Also I downloaded packages by setup program using my notebook, then transfered them to my Win 8.1 desktop, but the story was the same: I saw list of categories without packages. But on Win7 notebook I saw packages in categoies when I tried to install from the same directory.
5) Also I tried to turn off or even uninstall my firewall and antivirus software, but all results was the same.
6) I tried to run setup with administrator rights, tried to use different folders and HDD paths, tried to use x86 setup instead of x64 setup.
But nothing helped me.
Any ideas?
Define "didn't work". Post whatever error message the installer presents to you. Every little bit of information helps.
A common issue people experience while installing cygwin are outdated mirrors, i.e., websites who'd usually mirror the cygwin stack, but failed to keep it updated, which explains your issue regarding a missing/bad setup.ini file.
In any case, you most definitely would never want to actually download the entire cygwin stack, as it also includes past-, current-, and beta-versions.
As far as I know, "local installation" is a remnant of the days where one could acquire CDs containing the cygwin stack, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
