The environment is inconsistent, please check the package plan carefully - anaconda
I tried to update or install new packages from anaconda and lately, this message has appeared:
The environment is inconsistent, please check the package plan carefully
The following package are causing the inconsistency:
- defaults/win-32::anaconda==5.3.1=py37_0
done
I tried with conda clean --all and then conda update --all but it persists.

I had faced the same problem. Simply running
conda install anaconda
solved the problem for me.
saw this on Google Groups
This message was added in conda 4.6.9, previously there was no indication when conda detected an inconsistent environment unless conda was run in debug mode. It is likely that your environment was inconsistent for some time but the upgrade to conda made it visible. The best option it to run "conda install package_name" for the inconsistent packages to let conda try to restore consistency.
and it really works for me.
Maybe you should try conda install anaconda in your situation.
The inconsistencies are caused due to different versions of the packages, and their clashing dependencies.
conda update --all
This command updates all the packages, and then conda solves the inconsistency on its own.
Had this same problem and none of the other solutions worked for me. Ended up having to uninstall and reinstall conda, then reinstall all of my libraries.
Ultimate solutions:
conda activate base
conda install anaconda
conda update --all
Works on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 (credits to #MF.OX for ubuntu).
Removed following problems for me:
The environment is inconsistent
WARNING conda.base.context:use_only_tar_bz2(632)
If the other solutions don't work, reverting the environment can fix this.
Use conda list --revisions, pick a revision number, and use conda install --revision [#] going back step-by-step until everything works again.
Given a situation like the following,
> conda update -c intel --all

As mentioned in other answers, the idea is to have some sort of re-installation to occur for the inconsistent packages.
Thus, with a few copy-&-paste's, you could:
> conda install intel/win-64::ipython==6.3.1=py36_3

My “Shortcut”
Alternatively, cook up an (ugly) one-liner (this should work for Windows as well as other platforms)
Note: by "ORIGINAL_COMMAND", I'm referring to any command that gives you the error message (without any other side-effects, ideally)
<ORIGINAL_COMMAND> 2>&1 | python -c "import sys,re,conda.cli; conda.cli.main('conda','install','-y',*re.findall(r'^\s*-\s*(\S+)$',sys.stdin.read(),re.MULTILINE))"
Expanding the above one-liner:
from re import findall, MULTILINE
from sys import stdin
from conda.cli import main
main(
"conda", "install", "-y",
"--force", # Maybe add a '--force'/'--force-reinstall' (I didn't add it for the one-liner above)
*findall(r"^\s*-\s*(\S+)$", stdin.read(), MULTILINE) # Here are the offenders
)
I was getting an environment is inconsistent error when I tried to update my base conda environment. I'm using miniconda. Unfortunately, none of the answers above worked for me.
What did work for me was:
conda activate base
conda install conda --force-reinstall
conda install conda --force-reinstall
conda update --all
(Yes, for some reason it was necessary to run conda install conda --force-reinstall twice!)
The command conda install -c anaconda anaconda did the trick for me. For my setup, I need to specify the channel otherwise it would not work. After running the command in the terminal, I was prompted to update a list of packages that was found to be inconsistent. Without this step, I was not able to install or update any packages with conda install <package_name> or conda update <package_name respectively.
What worked for me was to
`conda remove <offending_packagename>`,
`conda update --all`
and then finally
`conda install <offending_packagename>`.
I had this problem for ages. The conda install anaconda might work, but it takes just way too long -- more than 24 hours on my machine.
Here is a solution that worked for me in under 5 minutes:
Remove all the unneeded packages -- being careful to leave the ones that are essential for conda to operate.
Then, use conda install anaconda.
But how?? there is a lot of them!
This is what I have done:
Make a fresh envinroment with python, fairly bare-bone. then, list the packages in there:
conda create -n fresh python
conda activate fresh
conda list
Save the output, you will need it.
1b. go back to the base envinroment:
conda deactivate
use the following snippet to generate a conda command that will remove all the inconsistent packages:
(good packages are)
exclusion_text = '''
_libgcc_mutex 0.1 main
_openmp_mutex 4.5 1_gnu
anyio 2.2.0 py39h06a4308_1
argon2-cffi 20.1.0 py39h27cfd23_1
async_generator 1.10 pyhd3eb1b0_0
...
... and more! get this from a good environment.
Note the usage of triple quotes (''') to use a multiline-string in python.
bad_packages_text = '''
- https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/main/linux-64/networkx-2.1-py36_0.tar.bz2/linux-64::networkx==2.1=py36_0
- https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/main/linux-64/spyder-3.2.6-> py36_0.tar.bz2/linux-64::spyder==3.2.6=py36_0
py36h4c697fb_0.tar.bz2/linux-64::jdcal==1.3=py36h4c697fb_0
- defaults/noarch::jupyterlab_server==1.1.4=py_0
- defaults/linux-64::argh==0.26.2=py37_0
...
... and more! get this by copy-pasting the "The following packages are causing the inconsistency." message.
then, in python, process this:
exclusions = [line.split(' ')[0] for line in exclusion_text_lines if line !='']
bad_packages_lines = bad_packages_text.split('\n')
bad_packages = [line.split('::')[1].split('==')[0] for line in bad_packages_lines if line!='']
exclusions.append('conda') # make sure!
exclusions.append('tqdm')
finally, construct the life-saving command:
command_line = 'conda remove '
for bad_package in bad_packages:
if bad_package not in exclusions:
command_line = f'{command_line} {bad_package}'
command_line
Since in solving the environment, all the packages on the remove list can be ignored, conda no longer needs to consider their versions, and the process is fast.
Possibly someone can refactor this method to make it easier -- or better yet, upgrade conda to enable quick reset base command.
This worked for me -- it took me longer to write this post than to execute these actions.
Good luck!
To those of us who have miniconda and can't/don't want to install anaconda: the accepted answer works when adapted.
conda install conda
conda update --all
Would have commented, but my rep is too low.
conda install anaconda
conda clean --all
conda update --all
fix the problem for me
To solve this message I had to run conda update --all in my base environment three times after each other.
Every time the number of inconsistent packages decreased until conda said:
# All requested packages already installed.
I'm on macOS Big Sur 11.6 using conda version 4.10.3.
In my case, none of the above worked. But this did the trick in less than a minute:
1- I downloaded again the lastest installer (miniconda in my case)
2- Run the installer with the -u option:
bash Miniconda3-py39_xxxx-Linux-x86_64.sh -u
3- Answer yes to all questions and let the installer finish
4- Then I could run conda update conda -all
Hope this helps...
You probably installed anaconda with python 2.7 but later you used python 3.x. Thus, you are getting an error message. In my case, I solved the problem by activating anaconda with python 2.7:
conda create --name py2 python=2.7
Try to have a look to the environment management
https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html
By using something along the lines
conda create --name astra python=3.5
conda activate astra
conda install -c astra-toolbox astra-toolbox
You can see that you can even specify target python version. Now play with the new packages installed. When unsatisfied, you can always do
conda deactivate
conda env remove -n astra
If you install everything to the base env and something gets broken, then probably better is not to install conda at all and go with default python managing it through pip.
In my environment.
1.
conda install anaconda
conda update --all
Then it works correctly.

Stuck at Solving Environment on Anaconda
I am running OSX Catalina. After downloading Anaconda, I'm having trouble downloading external packages. I tried in both the GUI and the terminal, but the process keeps getting stuck at "Solving environment". I understand creating a new environment can be a workaround, but I would rather fix the issue at hand. Any ideas?
The following steps may work to resolve the issue. conda config --remove channels conda-forge conda config --add channels conda-forge if it doesn't work then try this conda update conda if nothing works try seeing this github solution, it worked for many.
use this: conda config --set channel_priority strict pay attention that it is channel_priority and not priority_channel
running conda config --set channel_priority flexible worked for me Update, still ran into some issues so I found Mamba, and oh my god my life changed conda is the worst package manager ever all my issues were solved when I used mamba # install mamba conda install -n base conda-forge::mamba # use mamba mamba install pandas
Please, check that python is actually listed in environment.yml or conda create -n your_environment --file requirements.txt python=3.7. Otherwise, conda is traversing all versions of python available. Check that Python is listed.
for updated conda version over 4.12.0 'Libmamba' with advantages like: Improve conda’s resolving speeds by 50-80%* Maximize backwards compatibility so as to not break any current functionality Build the plugin infrastructure for others to create custom solvers are mentioned in Anaconda's official blog post, A Faster Solver for Conda: Libmamba so for making libmamba your default solver(make sure your conda version is 4.12): conda install -n base conda-libmamba-solver and to try it temporarily:conda create -n demo --experimental-solver=libmamba --dry-run install <some package>
It might be taking long because of package version conflicts. My solution was to install some packages using pip instead of conda install. For example: pip install tensorflow Try this in a new environment so it doesn't mess up your existing ones.
conda config --remove channels conda-forge conda config --set channel_priority flexible This fixed the problem with the solving environment step. After that I was able to update packages (such as conda and anaconda) and sort out various dependency issues.
I've had this issue running macOS Monterey, with conda taking an age to solve the environment, failing, and causing immense frustration. My first suggestion would be to install Mamba [1], of which you have two options. If conda does work, but just takes a long time, you can try conda install mamba -n base -c conda-forge If conda won't install anything at all, you can try uninstalling anaconda3 using conda install anaconda-clean, then anaconda-clean --yes, then rm -rf anaconda3,rm -rf ~/anaconda3 and rm -rf ~/opt/anaconda3. From there, download the Mambaforge .sh file [1], and run bash ~/Downloads/Mambaforge-MacOSX-x86_64.sh Follow the install, and treat mamba exactly how you would treat conda. Then it's simply a matter of selecting your interpreter in your IDE of choice! You'll find that mamba is way faster. Failing this, you can try using which pip, and then pip install [your package]. I wouldn't advise this one for lots of packages, as you are essentially bypassing the dependancy check, however for small things, it should work fine. Try it, and uninstall it if you get any clashes. Happy fixing!
I had similar problems trying to install external packages such as graph-tools and I solved it by creating a new environment. I know you prefer other options but it's the only thing that worked for me.
I was having the same issue while creating my conda environment using environment.yml file. conda env create -f environment.yml My issue was fixed by updating conda and setting channel priority to strict: conda update conda conda config --set channel_priority strict
set conda-forge highest priority, remove defaults channel conda config --add channels bioconda conda config --add channels conda-forge conda config --remove channels defaults conda config --set channel_priority strict make sure most your package from conda-forge, not defaults. If it doesn't work, try conda update --all conda clean -a //use with caution
The following works for me. Spin-off on https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/11919 Instead of waiting (maybe hours) to resolve SAT (A well-known NP-Complete problem) environment, it would be helpful for you to install the faster Conda resolver (https://www.anaconda.com/blog/a-faster-conda-for-a-growing-community). Just so you know, the resolver is not installed by default with Anaconda, so you need to install it manually. sudo conda update -n base conda sudo conda install -n base conda-libmamba-solver conda config --set solver libmamba Rerun conda install conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.7 \ -c pytorch -c nvidia I hope you find it useful.
you may also want to check your ~/.conda directory permissions. I installed conda on my MacOS using Homebrew and for some reason this directory had only read/write permissions for root. After changing the permissions and following the instructions from above, everything works smooth and fast now
upgrading conda base package has fixed it. ref : https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/rpm-debian.html
Sounds very simple but make sure you're in your environment conda activate <Your Environment>
i had the same problem when i tried to install packages for my env i tried the conda env update -f environment.yml even doesn't worked (in yml file i have name: tf2 that i point to update my env still doesnt upgraded) but now which i tried this it worked :d conda activate tf2 conda env update -n tf2 -f environment.yml --prune
After some reading I found out the .condarc file is not created by default (is stated by the official Anaconda documentation. So what I did is delete de .condarc file and then used the following command conda config --set channel_priority flexible And then it got unstuck Then I tried conda update conda just to test it, and everything worked again.
For other weary travelers: if you find conda taking hours to solve an environment, try install packages one at a time. Works like a miracle.
Another solution that may not have been mentioned is that the dependencies that you may want to install within your conda env are already installed. Using conda-list within your env you may confirm. With a package such as tethys platform they did not mentioned this and i was left wondering why my conda install process kept getting stuck at the solving stage. Late into the night bingo checked into my env and sure enough the dependencies where already installed. Now can progress to my next phase.
I faced the same issue for tensorflow and solved it by doing the next: create new environment conda create -n tf tensorflow moved to the new environemnt conda activate tf downloaded my package there. it worked and solved the issue, I think this happened due to not completing a previous install and got stuck in the middle.
Try installing ANACONDA3 2019-3. I had similar issues but after installing the above version of anaconda they were all fixed.
Choose one: Start fresh with a new Anaconda installation. Pay attention during installation to make sure that your install path is a subfolder of your home folder, such as /Users/me/anaconda3 Start fresh using the .sh installer instead of the .pkg installer. This installer makes it simpler to choose the destination path, and gives you more choice on how you want your shell to behave. check out the link for more details This is another answer for environment failure, but for windows OS
This fixed the hang for me. Although the install went on to fail. conda config --set priority_channel strict
Conda ObjectPath Installation is not working
I tried installing objectpath in Conda promt using conda install -c auto objectpath but this does not install saying packages not found. I used the code in the https://anaconda.org/auto/objectpath. I have a doubt whether there is a new command, because this code was uploaded 5 years ago. please clarify my doubt. Thanks
Well I managed it! What I did was installed ObjectPath package using pip command. First check if you want to add your package to your default environment. If you want to create new one please check this:Using Pip to install packages to Anaconda Environment I wanted to add the package to my default. So: I first activated my environment using the command conda activate<environment name> Install pips conda install pip now type in pip commands you want. (for me it was ObjectPath) pip install ObjectPath Check whether the package is being installed in your desired environment. conda list Main concern is the environment you are trying to install this. Activate the desired one. Thanks! Hope this will help someone who has/will face the same problem as I did :)
"conda install pandas-datareader" not working
I am trying to install pandas_datareader in Anaconda prompt by running the following command as per the official documentation: conda install -c anaconda pandas-datareader I am getting the error - "Solving environment : Failed" as shown below I am connected to internet. I found some links which said I needed to downgrade my Conda AND Python versions, so I tried that too, but it again says "Solving environment : Failed" Also tried running the following command in Anaconda prompt, pip install pandas_datareader and it gave the error: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pandas_datareader (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for pandas_datareader Can someone please help here? Config Details Conda version : 4.5.12 Python version : 3.7 OS : Windows 10
PyPI Installation The correct line for installing with PyPI is pip install pandas-datareader Note that the package name uses a hyphen (pandas-datareader), which is different from the underscore (pandas_datareader) that is used when importing. Conda Installation It's hard to answer this outright without more information. Other Windows 10 users who are behind proxies have reported the same error on Issue #764, which includes potential solutions. Changing Python Version? No I am skeptical that you would need to downgrade Python. You can easily test whether this is true without having to actually do it. Namely, if you really did need to change your Python version, then the following command would correctly solve the environment: conda create --dry-run -n test-pd-dr anaconda::pandas-datareader whereas this one would fail: conda create --dry-run -n test-pd-dr python=3.7 anaconda::pandas-datareader I expect they'd both fail. The first one attempts to create any environment with the only constraint being that it include pandas-datareader, whereas the second one additionally adds the constraint to use the same Python minor version you report. If they both fail, it's something else. Also, changing Python versions is base env is risky (it can break your Conda if done incorrectly) and requires following specific directions from Anaconda.
Use the following command in Conda Prompt: conda install -c anaconda pandas-datareader
Conda hangs in "solving environment" when installing STSci packages
I run Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on a virtual machine on Windows 10. I've installed Anaconda 5.3 without any issues, but when I try to install an STSCI environment with the command line: conda create -n astroconda stsci the terminal gets stuck in "Solving Environment" (I have version 4.5.11 of conda). Yesterday I waited for about 4 hours before giving up. I would like to know if there is a known issue about this problem and if it can be related to the quantity of disk and RAM assigned to the virtual machine.
I will write a more general solution, to Conda's "Solving Environment" issue, which I had the uttermost pleasure with. Short answer of things to try: As already mentioned try updating Conda with conda update conda or even better, the whole base environment conda update --all. Specify package and build version using <package>=<version>=<build> e.g. sage=8.3=py27_3. Search available versions by conda search <package>. Like for the package, you can also specify python version and ideally some other dependencies. Check dependencies with conda info <package>. Check current configuration inside the .condarc file or with conda config --get and check if you maybe have additional restrictions, as normally you will only find the channels defined there. When working with additional channels put conda-forge or the channel you want to use on top and add channel_priority: strict. So your .condarc file would look like this: channel_priority: strict channels: - conda-forge - defaults Contrariwise to the above, remove the first line and try adding --no-channel-priority to the command. This one helped me a couple times since updating to Conda 4.6. If above does not work: When conda seem stuck it is possibly having too many options or some conflicts resulting in the SAT solver getting clause counts of multiple millions. To check if this is the case add -vv or --debug and you will later see lines like Invoking SAT with clause count: XXX. If it stays at one of these lines for long time, then try specifying version for packages as above. If there seem another issue, try the conda GitHub. Another useful tip if you are using the conda-forge channel, is to go over their Tips & tricks.
I have the same problem on macOS 10.13.6. The creation of iraf environment conda create -n iraf27 python=2.7 iraf-all pyraf-all stsci works fine instead. Update: I found out that specifying the python version conda create -n astroconda python=3.6 stsci makes the installer work also with astroconda.
I had the same issue but then I updated Conda and it worked... $ conda update conda
Anaconda equivalent of "setup.py develop"
How can I install a package under development to an Anaconda environment? With pip: pip install -e /path/to/mypackage or with regular setuptools: python /path/to/mypackage/setup.py develop
There is also conda develop available now. http://conda.pydata.org/docs/commands/build/conda-develop.html Update in 2019: conda develop hasn't been maintained and is not recommended. See https://github.com/conda/conda-build/issues/1992 Recommendation is to use python setup.py develop or pip install -e .
Using either of those will work with Anaconda. Make sure that you have pip or setuptools installed into the conda environment you want to install into, and that you have it activated.
This is the equivalent to pip install -e . conda install conda-build conda develop .
As explained in this gh issue thread, because of build isolation and dependency installation, Anaconda developers recommend using: pip install --no-build-isolation --no-deps -e .
Build / Host Environment To create build and host environments and a build script go to your recipe directory and use conda debug /path/to/your/recipe-directory as documented here. This will print an instructive message like ################################################################################ Build and/or host environments created for debugging. To enter a debugging environment: cd /home/UserName/miniconda3/conda-bld/debug_1542385789430/work && source /home/UserName/miniconda3/conda-bld/debug_1542385789430/work/build_env_setup.sh To run your build, you might want to start with running the conda_build.sh file. ################################################################################ (The message might tell you incorrectly, that it created a test environment.) Your source code has been copied to the .../work directory and there is also a conda_build.sh script. Note, that sourcing the build_env_setup.sh will load both build and host environments. You can work on your code and your recipe and build with the conda_build.sh, but you won't get a proper conda package, as far as I know. When you are finished, you can remove the debug environment: conda deactivate # maybe twice conda build purge Test Environment To get the test environment, you have to build the package first and then debug that. This might be useful to fix your test files. conda build /path/to/your/recipe-directory # creates mypackage*.tar.bz2 # find file location of mypackage*.tar.bz2 with: conda search --info --use-local mypackage # look at the url row for the path cd /path/to/miniconda3/conda-bld/linux-64/ # go to that path, can be different conda debug mypackage*.tar.bz2 This will print e. g.: ################################################################################ Test environment created for debugging. To enter a debugging environment: cd /home/UserName/miniconda3/conda-bld/debug_1542385789430/test_tmp && source /home/UserName/miniconda3/conda-bld/debug_1542385789430/work/conda_test_env_vars.sh To run your tests, you might want to start with running the conda_test_runner.sh file. ################################################################################ Again, remove with conda deactivate conda build purge Run Environment This is actually no debugging, but the general process of building and installing a local package. With the run environment you can check, whether all dependencies are specified in the requirements/run section. Also pinning can be an issue. (base) $ conda build /path/to/your/recipe-directory (base) $ conda create --name package-env --use-local mypackage (base) $ conda activate package-env (package-env) $ python >>> import mypackage You can also list the dependencies of your package with (man page) conda search --info --use-local mypackage A last hint: If you want to know the versions of the dependencies and see, whether pinning works, try (man page) conda render /path/to/your/recipe-directory
