Hello @kathatherine, there are several more answers for this FAQ which can be added -

• Check if the package is available in a different channel: Sometimes a package may be available in a different channel than the one you are using. You can try searching for the package in different channels using the conda search command. For example, conda search -c conda-forge my_package.

• Update conda: It's possible that the version of conda you are using is outdated and can't find the package. You can try updating conda using the command conda update conda.

• Clear the conda cache: Sometimes the conda cache can become corrupted and prevent the package from being found. You can try clearing the cache using the command conda clean -a.

• Check if the package name is correct: Make sure you are using the correct name of the package. It's possible that you may have misspelled the name or used the wrong capitalization.

• Check if the package is available for your platform: Some packages may not be available for all platforms. Make sure the package you are trying to install is available for your platform. You can check the package's documentation or website for more information.

Shall I add them in answer as well?

@mhmohona Those sound like great additions. Thank you!

[kathatherine]

Just one general question, but this is a great checklist of things to try! Thank you very much. @travishathaway, @kenodegard, @beeankha, if any of y'all have the time to give this a lookover and a 👍, I'm good with it.

General question (perhaps for @travishathaway or @kenodegard): A lot of people do conda update conda in (base). Is that advised? If not, should probably add an advisement against that. Just checking.
