How to Fix Entry Point Not Found while installing libraries in conda environment

Question

I\'m working on anaconda by making multiple environments in it. I have made any environment camelot so now I want to install in different libraries in this envi

I had the exact same issue, and it also just started today. Kind of destroyed my entire work day, tbh...

I accidentally did a conda install ... in my base environment, and it updated conda and a handful of other modules. (Conda went from 4.5.12 to 4.7.10, in my case.) Anyway, after I rolled it back, things are working as expected again.

If this is what's causing your issue, here's a fix.

1. conda list --revisions

2. conda install --revision 1 (In my case "rev 1" was my most recent, stable base environment.)

(More details about this: https://sriramjaju.github.io/2018-05-30-2-minute-recipe-how-to-rollback-your-conda-environment/)

Now I'm worried that I've inadvertently configured something in a way that isn't compatible with the newest version of conda.

Edit: Don't follow this last suggestion if you're doing anything other than playing around in a conda environment to test-drive modules. See this and this.

Lastly, if you really need to install modules and do some work ASAP, pip install [module name] was still working for me before I thought to do the reversion thing.
