The error appears to be saying conda cannot find the packages and is unable to install them. Even though the conda install command i pasted is directly from rapids.ai

can someone please help,

I have updated conda to its best version and googling around didnt land me any help

Hi @a-steel-heart thanks for all the info here. I’ll reach out to the RAPIDS team and see if we can get to the bottom of this. Thanks, Sophie

Hi @a-steel-heart - it looks like you’re running on Windows. RAPIDS on Windows is only supported via WSL2. Please take a look at the WSL2 installation guide: Installation Guide - RAPIDS Docs Thanks!

Oh gosh, a major oversight on my part. Thank you so much for pointing out!

I see now it doesn’t say windows 11, rather it says “Windows 11 using a [WSL2 specific install]”.

I sincerely apologize, once again thanks!

No apologies needed - just pleased it was an easy fix! Best of luck and do reach out if you hit a bump in the road!

best,

Sophie
