Create conda environment: “Found conflicts!” when solving environment and “Finding shortest conflict path” running forever

Question

I was provided with an environment.ubuntu.yml file to be able to create a conda environment. However, running conda create env --file environment.ubuntu.y

Answer 1

I was also faced with the same problem on windows 10, using pycharm with anaconda (python 3.7) latest build as of feb 17,2020. Strangely enough toggling the "use conda package manager" on the project interpreter page in pycharm's settings allowed me to update numpy and install packages normally. Try installing a package without the conda package manager and with the conda package manager. Good luck!
