[FIXED] conda install sklearn_crfsuite not working in spyder

Issue

I am new to spyder, and trying to figure out how to install sklearn_crfsuite. This is the error i get while installing in spyder ipython console :

Command : conda install sklearn_crfsuite

Solving environment: ...working... failed

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - sklearn_crfsuite;

Spyder version : 3.2.8

Can someone please help me out with this?

Solution

Solved this.

If a package is not available from conda or Anaconda.org, you may be able to find and install the package with another package manager like pip.

Step 1 : install pip in current conda environment with the command 'conda install pip'
Step 2 : install the required package with the command 'pip install sklearn_crfsuite'
Step-3 : verify package is installed with the command 'conda list'
