Anaconda - Install blpapi in environment

Question

I have py2.7 as my original Anaconda install, and have installed py3.4 in an environment named py3.

I cannot seem to be able to install blpapi

Answer 1

In addition to Mike Müller's answer above, I thought I would add a section on the anaconda search utility for finding packages hosted on https://anaconda.org/.

$ anaconda search blpapi
Using Anaconda API: https://api.anaconda.org
