[FIXED] ImportError: Install adlfs to access Azure Datalake Gen2 and Azure Blob Storage

Issue

I am using Spyder and I am running the following code:

import pandas

storage_options={'account_name': 'bidi', 'account_key': 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'}

df = pandas.read_csv('abfs://[email protected]/raw/taxi_zone.csv', storage_options=storage_options)

print(df)

But this is giving me the following error:

ImportError: Install adlfs to access Azure Datalake Gen2 and Azure Blob Storage

So I opened Anaconda Prompt as administrator and typed:

Conda install adlfs

I received the following error:

(base) C:\WINDOWS\system32>conda install adlfs
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
