Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.
it also returned an error is there any way to install imblearn in order to use the SMOTE from it ?
thank you:)

Answer 1

Conda is throwing an environment error that basically says: "you cannot upgrade scikit-learn because you do not have permission to update libopenblas."
The easiest fix would be to create a new environment and install a fresh set of dependencies:
conda create -y -n imblearn python=3.9
conda activate imblearn
python -m pip install imbalanced-learn
Fixing the permission error in the base environment is a different matter. Reinstalling conda might be the easiest option. The conda getting started guide should be helpful for these points:
