Install python with given version using Miniconda

Question

I use Raspberry Pi.

I tried to create an environment with this:

conda create --name "myenv" python=3.10.1 mediapipe

I got the following error:

Fetching package metadata: ....
Error: No packages found in current linux-armv7l channels matching: python 3.10.1*

You can search for this package on anaconda.org with

    anaconda search -t conda python 3.10.1*

You may need to install the anaconda-client command line client with

    conda install anaconda-client

I think miniconda thinks python=3.10.1 is a package.

@rikyeah Does not work: conda create --name "myenv" python=3.8 — John

does docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/… help? what is mediapipe by the way? — rikyeah

No one maintains Conda for 32-bit Raspberry Pi (platform linux-armv7l). Basically you're stuck with what is on the rpi channel or works with noarch, and that means at latest Python 3.6.6.

The newer full 64-bit OS images for Raspberry Pi 4 should be compatible with linux-aarch64 builds from Conda Forge, and those are actively maintained (e.g., python=3.10.2 is available).

BTW, Conda does treat python=3.10.1 as a package because it is a package. That is, Conda is a general package manager and Python has no special treatment (aside from the bit of bootstrapping that Conda itself is a Python package).
