Not able to update anaconda -Error Corrupted Environment - python

while trying to update the anaconda. I am getting the following error.
I tried to update also, its not working.
How to fix this python error.
CorruptedEnvironmentError: The target environment has been corrupted. Corrupted environments most commonly
occur when the conda process is force-terminated while in an unlink-link
transaction.
environment location: D:\vivek\Learning\Anaconda
corrupted file: D:\vivek\Learning\Anaconda\conda-meta\python-3.7.1-h33f27b4_4.json

Follow the steps below:
Remove all the packages that are corrupt.
Try to install them again(only using conda).
Update your Conda and python if needed.
Try again with different versions if needed.
Extra step: If you have a new conda environment and you find the error is because of some installing issues then try installing Conda again.
This will fix all the errors

Cannot Install PIP in a conda enviroment created form a .txt file [duplicate]

I downloaded Anaconda and started using it on my Mac but now I am switching laptops. I will be using a Windows laptop now and I need to transfer my environments to my new laptop. How best can I do this?
I am using Python version 3.8 and was using Jupyter notebooks to run my code. But if I simply try to run the notebook on my Windows laptop I am getting one error after another (because I don't have the packages installed). Installing them one by one will take time and I don't even remember most of what I installed.
If you are working across platforms (osx-64 -> win-64) you'll need to be minimal about what packages you export from the existing environment. While Conda does have a recommended intra-platform procedure for exactly recreating environments, it does not directly translate to the cross-platform situation. Instead, try using:
conda env export --from-history > environment.yml
and then, on the new computer,
conda env create -f environment.yml
This will only export the packages that you have explicitly specified to be in the environment at some point (e.g., using conda install foo). Dependencies will be resolved automatically on the new system. This does not guarantee there still won't be packages that aren't available on Windows, but they should be less frequent and easier to resolve manually (typically by removing them from the YAML or adjusting versions).

Anaconda failure to "solve environment" repeatedly

I want to update my python version. When running
conda update python
from my base environment I get the message:
The environment is inconsistent, please check the package plan carefully
and then I get a message about trying to solve using flexible solve, where the terminal just runs without completing.
I have tried everything here and here and all lead to my terminal freezing on the same message.
I have also tried to uninstall conda but the clean command here also leads to freezing.
How can I completely uninstall conda and remove all packages/dependencies and reinstall a new version?
For me the solution was to use navigate to Users/name/opt/ and run
rm -rf ~/anaconda3
which removed the base environment and all scripts related to anaconda and to reinstall using the GUI here for the version of python I needed.
This is the only thing that fixed my problem. Likely there are many packages that I will now need to reinstall...

Transferring Conda environments across platforms

Anaconda prompt and conda command not working

I was installing rdkit package from https://www.rdkit.org/docs/GettingStartedInPython.html with conda command.
However, there were some errors and it started to rollback. While doing so, I terminated the command.
After that, the conda command seemed to not work at all.
C:\Users\user>where conda
INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).
C:\Users\user>conda --version
'conda' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
This pic is my C:\Users\uesr\Anaconda3\Scripts
I've added anaconda and anaconda\scripts location to my path, so it's not a path problem.
I'm using windows10
Reinstalling anaconda would be the best solution?
If you can please do that, Few months back similar issue was faced by me too. I looked a lot for solutions of this issue, found many, some of them worked too but the problem reappeared after installing some other package. Best solution will be to reinstall anaconda. If not willing to do so, then do comment, I'll provide you with the solution, but I won't be able to assure you that it will solve the issue permanently.
first delete the path and uninstall anaconda
then again reinstall it
then again add path in system environment variable
then press ok in all windows
This generally happens as Path is not set.
My Anaconda is places here
My Path of Anaconda
You need to go to
Control Panel\System and Security\System\Advanced system settings & then ‘Environment Variables’ and add your Path of Ananconda

I got this error in Python, EnvironmentNotWritable Error

I ran 'conda install pandas-datareader' in Python to get the data.
A EnvironmentNotWritable Error has appeared, as shown below.
I suspect it is due to the (read only) option in base environment, but I do not know how to fix it.
I have just started Python and have little knowledge. I hope you can help me.
I do not know if it's necessary, but the version is like this.
active environment : None
conda version : 4.6.11
conda-build version : 3.17.8
python version : 3.7.3.final.0
base environment : C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3 (read only)
i ran this code
conda install pandas-datareader
During the installation of the package, the following error message appears.
....
Preparing transaction: done
Verifying transaction: failed
EnvironmentNotWritableError: The current user does not have write permissions to the target environment.
environment location: C\ProgramData\Anaconda3
Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.
There can be two simple issues due to which this issue is generated--
* During installing library your Anaconda program is running. This restricts you to make any changes in environment during working.
Solution-1 Close Anaconda program then try installing library on command prompt.
Solution-2 Close Anaconda program then run Anaconda Prompt as Administrator.
I Hope this will work for you.
Please check the environments tab in the Anaconda if the problem persists after you run it with administrative privileges. in the Environments tab you can create new Environments, just hit create. For example, I created special environment for Rstudio. Whatever you like.
P.S. I checked conda install pandas-datareader on the fresh Anaconda installation and it works. So double check the Environments tab what you have there and install it with administrative rights.
I know I'm replying very early to your question, but still the solution that worked for me is to just run your anaconda prompt in administrator mode.
