Installing pony via conda

Question

I'm trying to install the pony orm package via conda:

conda install pony

However, the conda install command results in a PackageNotFoundError:

PackageNotFoundError: Packages missing in current channels:

-pony

We have searched for the packages in the following channels:

• https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/main/win-64
• https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/main/noarch
• https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/free/win-64
• https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/free/noarch
• https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/r/win-64
• https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/r/noarch
• https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/pro/win-64
• https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/pro/noarch
• https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/msys2/win-64
• https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/msys2/noarch

The package also doesn't show up in Pycharm's available packages.

How do I install pony via conda?

I'm using

• Anaconda 3

• Python 3.6

Answer 1

My procedure for installing packages in conda is the following:

conda search packagename

in your case:

conda search pony

in your case it returns the following:

pony                         0.7.1                    py27_0  conda-forge
                             0.7.1                    py35_0  conda-forge
                             0.7.1                    py36_0  conda-forge

It displays the pony version, python version and the anaconda channel in which the package is located.

so to install you go (-c for channel):

conda install -c conda-forge pony

If search returns no hits go to https://anaconda.org/ and type the package name into the search bar at the top. This gets you here in your case:

https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pony

Same information on that page as well:

conda install -c conda-forge pony

Now if there's no package on Anaconda Cloud you can still try pip which comes with conda.

So if there's no hits you just go:

pip install pony

and hope for the best :D
